I’m not saying reserve pick up is a bad idea on its face, just that there is a lot to be considered.
res ability to pickup was a large gain for reserves and a slight negative for lineholders. Imo. I’m a lineholder and viewed it as an overall gain. We also have a res fdo line that the language was designed for. It allowed us to maintain the ability to credit well over 200 in a vac month. So the res pickup had to be available to do that. Fdo is a sudo res line. 12 off 18 on with caveats. You can also back them together 24 days off. Apply vac to either or both sides 42 days off and you start the 18 on as a long call.
