The trip remained available for a lineholder to cherry pick for up to 8 hours before show time.

It was a nice option to have, but I suppose it does zero good if there is nothing in open time!
I was never on reserve at XJT, but I do have to say that we should reference XJT contract for 2012 negotiations... Never thought I woud say that but we had some good things in that contract!
