If you can afford to live on 75 AND you don't have to put on your plastic pants too often and don't have to ride the UN Bus too often, etc, reserve can be a pretty sweet gig. 18 days of go get em BS per month for an extra 10-12 hours pay seems kind of oppressive to me, when and only when, they are fat on your seat.

To my mind the most heinous issues are the pay cut and more importantly the loss of the additional 16% of what you might have earned had you been pulling down 85 hour lines year after year. Those numbers will add up if you're a res maggot for a long time, as many of the blue teamers have been.

If you're not close, SC sucks and FSB is an absolute travesty. And now with the loss of transparency (CCS, FIFO, etc) it has gotten worse.
