Loss of 150% above 70.5 hours wasn't addressed...
Loss of the 3 hours of credit for each reserve day wasn't addressed...

and, straight from the Addendum...

"The Company acknowledges that reserve pilots are not eligible to initiate
open time transactions, including the pick-up of open time. However, the
Company may offer open time trips to a reserve pilot who has made
himself or herself available on days off."

So, without the loss of the first two items, a reserve now has to work harder each month to break guarantee, and to make any real money, you have to make yourself available on your days off because you can't initiate an open-time transaction. Then you only get LDO pay "IF" they offer you any open flying.

Sorry, but I'm just not seeing how a reserve can make "good money" under the LOA and subsequent Addendum.
