If you have a chance to check it out, I would be interested to hear what a few of you on here think...
I'm curious what my LEC would do if I had come with a resolution advocating for the exact opposite of the one which is pushing for even less flying by more senior pilots. When I wrote my LEC and the SOT about the new reserve rules over a year ago I was told by a SOT member that he had heard from junior pilots, but not from senior pilots complaining about the new system. But apparently the voices of the junior pilots didn't matter.

Edit: I would also add that if the LEC is advocating for a return to the old reserve rules perhaps they might also advocate for a return to 70 hr reserve pay, and ending reserve flying to ALV +15. It's not intellectually honest to say you want a return to the way it used to be unless you want those changes made as well.
