Why is this funny? When was the last time you were on reserve at a regional? Do you think you have lost a little perspective and are now unable to empathize? Today's job seeking pilots can go anywhere they want, why would a pilot go to an airline to sit reserve as an FO for a year when they can go to an airline with movement so quick they can be sitting reserve as a CA in the same amount of time it would take to get off reserve as an FO? I think this next year you'll see airlines getting rid of straight reserve lines, more airlines offer hotels before trips, more positive space options to/from work and more FO/CA LOA's like TSA has going to attract new candidates, the playing field has finally tilted in the favor of labor.
