There are many new FO's here so I hope we don't teach people how to go down to 7/8 days off in hopes of a few extra bucks- totally ruins the union's push for more min days off and better crew coverage.
Yes, I know i'm only allowed to pick up a reserve day on my day off, but most new CS doesn't know that, they don't know that I can't pick anything up when i'm on reserve. As long as it's within the 72 hrs of the trip, CS can assign it to the reserve pilot as long as there was no email request by a line holder.
