Of course there are many issues that need addressing. But this particular issue needs to first and foremost stop the insanity of a 2 hour leash by memo. We can't end up with reserve QOL less than is already was before and then act like we have capital to throw at other situations. Fix the reserve issues that this has caused first, and then we can talk about any leftover capital to spend elsewhere.

Long call is now 19 hours and nothing on day one before noon. The only problem is we have to lose pay, grieve it and be hassled with carpet dances for standing up for our own contract. I worry we could end up compromising on this in a way that reduces QOL for reserve and throws money elsewhere, perhaps in ways completely unrelated to 117. We can't expect reserves to throw themselves into the grievance machine only later to find out they were fighting for double pay trip parking buddy bid touch drop scams for an elite few.

Likewise, if the company tries to play games with long haul rest facilities, domestic narrowbody pilots shouldn't expect a payday from that either. Reserve issues need to address reserve issues, rest facility issues need to benefit that, etc.
