I propose that when a person sitting reserve flies, that that persons SC amount also goes down. So if you get a 3 day trip, when you finish you now are only on the hook for 5 SCs instead of 6. I know the company probably won't go for this, but It would be nice. In July I flew a bunch and was done before the month was out, but still was on the hook for all my SCs, so they couldn't really fly me, but they could still make me sit SC.

Luckily I'm done for the month on SCs, 5 in a row all truncated so I could sit perpetually for 6 days.
If you were within 2 hours of the ALV, you were under NO obligation for the remainder of the month. You should've been released for the rest of the month. Under the new rules, once you hit your projected reserve you are released. So if they flew you to your projected reserve before you sat any SC then you will not sit any SC that month.
