Um, no, because very shortly your reserve system may become our reserve system, and a bud was looking for some info.
The irony is at NWA, blockholder is a permanent position (MSPDC9CAB, DTW757FOB, etc), and if you hold it, you KNOW you will have a block (line) month to month.
With the DAL combined category system, you could float from one to the other if you're on the cusp. MANY NWA guys, who hold block categories may find themselves suddenly on reserve without being able to opt for displacement to a category where they could hold a line (which our current system permits).
This makes bidding with reference to commuting a bit more difficult to plan, and is why I am asking for info.
