Basic vs global...Basic is primarily domestic reserve (320,737 and maybe 757 depending on how the fleet is utilized). Any reserve in a Base/Eqp/Seat that does not fly south of Lima in South America will be considered Basic. Global is any BES that flies south of that (EZE etc) or transatlantic/pacific. This cannot be magically adjusted by crew scheduling.
