From what I hear, you can thank MM for most of your current reserve policy. Has nothing to do with CS, they weren't at the negotiating table OR voting on the policies.
I'm willing to bet most of CS gets paid more than our first and 2nd year FOs and the FOs needed a bachelors degree, $100k worth of flight training and 1500 hours of experience to get their job. There's no way the FO pay should be anywhere close to a call center employees pay, yet it is.

Blame MM for how bad reserve is? Now I've heard it all. MM and Kate were two of the most vocal people I've ever met about improving reserve policy.
