Yep! When talking about reserve life...always consider the perspective it's coming from. The new hire fo's are only sitting reserves for a month or so with so many new hires that they are not being used so much. So sure, reserve is not bad for them. You will get the same perspective from senior captains who sat reserve, for a brief period, years ago.
