You can ask for no reserve on a relief line. Or certain days off. Or certain kinds of trips. And you can drop the whole thing if you don’t like what is sent to you and he reserve grid supports it. They offer a lot of flexibility.

And others have said, you can’t drop reserve on relief lines. You’ll have to swap into a trip and drop the trip if it’s green.
Where did you even get this information? Because is nowhere in our contract and only sets people up for anger and disappointment when they don’t “get” what they requested.

In general a relief line, today, offers more flexibility than a reserve line.
