Having worked at a previous airline that had long call reserve, believe me long call guys will get worked and worked a lot. It is in the company's best interest to use those guys first when able and trust me they will. Especially since they can now assign reserve trips 48 hrs in advance.
At first everyone thinks long call is a free month to sit at home and harly work. But trust me that won't be the case.
If you pass up a line for long call, in my opinion that is not very smart, but if you're senior to me please go ahead.
Don't get me wrong if you are already a reserve guy it's not a bad gig especially for reserve commuters but definitely not good enough to by pass a line.

Working at PSA means we are working for US Airways. Every customer we fly are US Airways customers. I contribute to the profits of US Airways.
You can scream all you want about us not getting it all. But look, we really didn't get much. $.11 raise? Sure the day pay is nice, I looked back and saw that there were only 2 days this year where i would have benefited from it. In the past 5 years i have paid almost $10,000 in union dues. How long will that take to make back?
For 4 years of negotiating i was hoping for more. If this gets voted in we will have a 5 year contract and 4 more years to negotiate a new one. 9-10 years we will have to live with this. I'm sure Keith H. wants this one to go through, he is getting a deal.

Just giving my opinion from being in this position previously. If you think it's best for you then by all means bid for it.
