Now I agree that it is the same for a line holder.
While the schedulers may call it that, there is no such animal as a high yellow anymore according to the contract. This is just the side effect of using a term that is familiar to many to to describe a new thing, but which has no relationship to the prior meaning. There is nothing on ecrew labelled "high yellow." Line holders can put in for a greenslip or whiteslip to fly on an off day, and a reserve can put in a greenslip.
While I know that this sounds anal, if we allow management (scedulers) to make up their own terms for items in our contract, what other liberties are they taking?
