Many of the cargo trips are between 6-8 days. I even saw a 9 day trip. You can't use a reserve for that long. Many have HDO's or have a 1 in 7 day off issue. Particularly when they staff a 3rd augment with another Capt. They are staffing many of the cargo flights with an extra augment, further reducing the reserve availability.
So, you are left with 0 line, line holders who are willing to pickup.
