There was a committee tasked with developing ways to improve reserve QOL. I spoke at length with one of its members about the proposals. He said they would be good enough where some senior folks would bid long call. I guess we now know where those recommendations ended up.

I think overall reserve QOL decreases with this TA, and the number of people who will be on reserve will increase (and it's too high as is). I can't believe they didn't insert a maximum on reserve coverage. Look at IAD for DEC:
-18 reserves, yet the TLV was set at 100.
-27%+ of the total FOs, and 37.5% WRT line holders.

and on a side note:
-Number of lines with Christmas GDOs: 1
-Number of lines with New Year's Eve GDOs: 0

Scheduling already has the reserves by the neck, and now they want us to give them MORE control over our lives?

Give me a break!
