My only caution is they can (and do) no-opp trips assigned by YS or reserve assignment. Then you’re back on LC and might be hard-pressed to be in position for a subsequent assignment. This happened to me a lot at peak COVID. It’s not as likely now; once they have you assigned to a trip they’ll likely not mess with it. Unless they do.
Be careful how you YS on your first day of reserve. You can’t be assigned anything with a report prior to 10am so if you blanket YS they will assign anything they want. That potentially takes a GS from someone else. You could even GS to report prior to 10 if it works. Made that mistake once. Learned my lesson.
