12.M.5 needs a serious overhaul in the next contract. Yes someone has to sit reserve, but you get basically no protection from coverage as a reserve. Reserve coverage protections shouldn't be any different than our line holder protections. Until then, this is why I tell people that if you want to ensure no coverage, you pretty much can never get back below 40% in seat, assuming their already above it.
