Probably what was said was that reserves are paid even for sitting home doing nothing while a regular line holder has to work for every minute they are paid. true enough when back in the day categories were overstaffed and guys sat around for weeks on end and reserve went SENIOR... but that is not true today. Reserves can get worked 18 days and never get close to the guarantee... while a regular guy working the same days will be paid 80+. It doesn't float anymore.
