If you are holding a line and doing GS’s you are prob working more than anyone on reserve that isn’t. That’s the biggest problem with having a line is that you actually have to fly it plus the greenies(unless you are bought off obviously).
You can make way more as a line holder doing green slips but you really have to do a lot of flying you can makes in my opinion a little bit less on reserve doing Greenslip’s if you’re not rolling thunder but you usually don’t have to work anywhere near as hard.
