Like you said…often. It’s not a hard no in the PWA, so you might as well try. YMMV. I got Xmas day off on an APD while on reserve. Hasn’t happened since as a line holder.
Best I do is convince them to rob Peter to pay Paul. Swap a 3 day holiday trip for an earlier 4 day trip. I’ve had way more success on this. They get desperate close in and sometimes allow it to go through. I got thanksgiving off last year using that method.

What section of the contract allows reserve guarantee to be reduced if a pilot is unqualified to fly to a destination?

Or they force people into training and get paid to sit home and wait for training and burn sick time and vacation and the company just trained a pilot to fly the line for 3 months before they just retire anyway. Either scenario isn’t good for the company.

Don’t ask questions you know the answer to. 🙄
Maybe we should do a study on increasing pilot ages before we raise the age. EASA did; their findings are linked below.

I especially liked the sentence on p.25 "sudden death will lead to a most unpredictable and complete incapacitation of a pilot"

as already mentioned, 60% gives you some swap/drop and APD/IVD availability. First year here, very junior…barely
held a line. (Like 80-85%) got turkey day off with an APD on the Wednesday. Swaps into worst days opens up options. Just used my first IVD in 6+ years to clear a 5 day. Lots of
tools available, but I’ll say 60% or better to make things work. Some above will bid reserve, some want to work for their own reasons. 60% in category is the back end of the prop, but it’ll get done with tools available.
