If you were to talk to some reserve pilots, they may have not broke that number by much

That's when the company is out of pilots. No reserve pilots, nobody willing to pick up an open trip, segment, etc. The line holder who thought he was going to be done for the day and was going home just got a surprise, he's getting to work more. Whether it's an additional turn(s), or into another overnight on a day off.
Again, this is a contractual language thing. My previous employer had NO junior manning what so ever. The ONLY way to have a day off taken was due to weather/mechanical, etc. Not due to staffing issues.
