Of course there will always be someone on reserve. But with a doubling of our domestic flying at mainline, the upgrades that would produce would be huge. Not just on the 747/777 but ALL aircraft. Those upgrades would ensure that our most junior person at the airline now would not have to be on reserve if that pilot didn't WANT to be on reserve.
