Careful buzzby300, or people may accuse Krusty of miss spending all those overtime payments!
On the subject of reserve periods on the roster, I personally haven't seen much evidence of this lately. My current roster has only one reserve. Last time around there was some talk about it, and indeed at the height of the bloodletting I do recall some rosters with significant reserve periods, even when services where being cancelled! At the time I queried this practice with the REXPC, but I honestly didn't see it as widespread?
Clearly if anyone see's there are significant reserves on their rosters, give the details to your local rep. Logically reserves should decrease in these "interesting" times.
