No, you can’t do that. It’s a first-in, first out system based on how many days of reserve you have remaining and your last assignment while on reserve. You can however, do aggressive pick up (APU) of trips, short calls and field standby based on your silo. You’ll get very familiar with all of that on reserve which you might not even do if you get a NB out of training.
