And yeah, when we were hundreds of bodies understaffed in 21/22 extensions into days off for both reserves and lineholders were utilized on a daily basis, especially in the international theater. This is one of those things that the pandemic put a bazillion lumen spotlight on and should be addressed in bargaining, as frequently taking people into their days off has a massive negative impact on individual QOL. I don't think that's generally happening much these days as the pendelum has swung back the other way, but it does happen internationally (as it did before the pandemic).
