I've come to the same conclusion. It's even less of a slam dunk in categories where it's easy to break ADG. Unless reserves are just not getting used, it's probably down to your preference. Now if I can line up vacation and CQ in the same month, I think I'll be more apt to take advantage of reserve as I can minimize availability and also maybe drop a few days of reserve while still hitting the high 80s. Done right, you leave very little time the company can use you.
