And such is my life as a junior ATL 320 A. Reserve is the only time I ever get those 3+ leg day 319/320 trips with back to back 4am reports. At least as a line holder I have control of my sleep schedule (personally one of my top bidding priorities), I can swap out of crappy trips relatively easily, and since GS's are basically impossible for me I can pad my time card with the occasional high credit day turn WS.
