Quote: You are kind of coming across as spoiled. If you don't live in ATL of course you have to commute in, probably the day prior for a short call that early. YOU made that choice when YOU decided not to live in base.

You know it wasn't that long ago when commuting to reserve at all was impossible. Before we had jumpseat and short call was twice a day "windows". Be more grateful. You have more options than I ever did.
It's a valid question. Why treat it with mockery just because you don't see the value in what we had before it was given away?

I really don't see how this even benefits the company to make reserve more difficult for pilots. If I were on reserve and had to come in the night before because I couldn't be out of contact for two hours I still wouldn't be showing up at airport any sooner.
