Pre China virus I bid rsv on purpose usually so this is not just a lineholder perspective.
F9 pilot here. Res can pick up on thier days off under our current agreement. Subject to all grid and domicile limitations. The company assigns a predetermined block and duty to your reserve duty periods then makes sure your 117 legal for the pickup. I believe the negotiated numbers are 4 block and 6 duty to the existing res days. There’s still been plenty of premium. Pre Covid anyhow.
