Hmm, interesting question. As a new hire you're on training pay till OE sign off regardless.
If reserve, you could put as many on call days in shadow as possible, leaving x days after and in theory get time off
On the other hand, if you put x days in the shadow and they get violated, you get PB days. Which could be gold
Depends on your goal.
