I respectfully disagree. The most junior pilots are GUM and IAH based, 2005 hire date and not former express guys. Can I assume you are talking about the attractiveness of sitting reserve at IAH on the 737? Where you can count on being double pump, having your days off rolled, sitting simulator support, flying back to back red-eyes and flying maintenance inputs, 0200 phone availability on your first day of a reserve block and A reserves (long call) pilots being converted to B reserve (short call) on your first day of a reserve block. Anyone wonder where a lot of LUALs red-eyes went? Any other 737 Captains sitting reserve(below G-line) in IAH please feel free to add anything I left out concerning the attractiveness of sitting reserve at IAH .

Sorry, just venting here.
