My point is it doesn't achieve that because you'd have guys commuting for an extra 12 hours a month. Maybe you've just suckered me in to this argument that is actually intended as flame bait for someone like Pineapple Guy.

Well, no. I don't believe a reserve pilot should get 2 hrs more for each SC he pulls just as much as I don't believe a line holder should get paid more for flying the same trip. Good point. I think that disparity is an outrage.
