What specifically? Are you junior in your category? What % are you on reserve?
I would disagree, but I'm senior on reserve in a fat category. I would agree that it looks like junior reserve guys are flying more often than before. That will even out when we're not so overstaffed (or get into summer flying). Then the seniority on reserve will just allow the senior to decide "which" trips they prefer to fly instead of "nah, I'd rather not go fly."
As a junior reserve guy (ATL88B) I've flown every day of reserve until I maxed out for the last several months. In December, my last 3 days of reserve were off because I was full (past ALV).
