Actually their "short call" is not really short call in our sense of the word. SWA pilots rarely sit on call. Their reserves normally know where they're going the night prior. You might think of their reserves as having a line but not knowing where they're going to be flying. I think I would take that on reserve (especially since they have 16 days off/month) over our current reserve system. Also, I think most reserves would prefer to fly if they're a commuter (in base reserve is a whole different story). That is another QOL think we need to look at - poor reserve guarantee (70 hours) and 18/19 on call days/month.
