What everyone above said is absolutely true about true days off. If you are only counting nights away from home though often RSV works out better than a junior line. It’s very dependent on BES and staffing within BES though.
I personally find reserve MORE relaxing than holding a line. Sure I have to leave my phone on, but I don’t think about work at all beyond today or tomorrow. When I hold a line I constantly have open trip alerts going off and I’m always wondering what if I traded this for that, or picked up here, etc.
Im fully aware that this is a self induced stress. I’m just sharing the observation.
