Personally, I think WAY too much is being made out of Global v Basic reserve. It’s a bit irksome that you have to place 6 days off in a row since that really limits the rest of your month. The fact that you can get rolled into a day off seems fairly minor. You can get reassigned into a day off as a basic reserve or a line holder too. I’m sure the Union has data, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was more common for NB line holders to get worked into their days off than for Global reserves to get rolled.
Until you move the Christmas holiday with your entire family to earlier in the week to exchange gifts and have Christmas dinner because you are on reserve on the actual day and then you get rolled into the day everyone is coming to your house to celebrate. Yeah, other than that it's fairly minor.
