Like it's been pointed out, most of the time I've spent on reserve (lots) I would have benefited more from a training day pay increase for getting my landing currency in the sim than negatively by this bump in "full".
You bring up good points. One of th most glaring issues w/ Reserves is inequality in trip rigs. That woul be adressed, potentially, in Compensation.
And we should see the entire contract. On the surface, however I wouldn't want to be assigned up to 99 hours in the summer, without concurrence. Furthermore, I might be OK w/ ALV + 7:30, so a Reserve could be assigned up to the upper limit of LCW, but why have Reserves go to 7:30 above that, 7:30 more than a regular?
And in what context should allow ALV/TLV to flex up another 1:00?
The answer needs to be that we will all see much higher daily credit, so that we can be as productive as the company needs, without ruining our health or privat lives.
