It’s not just availability. There’s no UPA requirement to use an available reserve before PP to a lineholder. Sometimes, like now, they anticipate more sick calls so they are more aggressive in keeping some reserves reserved. I saw a text notification this weekend for 150% 3 day, two days before it started. It was over the 24th and 25th and they just don’t want to be out of reserves on those days.

Uhhh...not usually on the global fleets. You need to be on a VRDO to get that bennie. Instead, the typical way to get a reserve to fly on days off is to give everyone in the 3-6 day silos a SC then roll the days off if a reserve with only 1-2 days remaining. The days get restored, but no add pay. Maybe on domestic add pay is more common...
