I understand the logistics but the reservists should be pay protected at the junior folks' line value (more than 75 hours). Values? Oh, that's right, they bid for that position. GMAFB! Let's Keep picking up the RSAs and RSLs and maybe we'll get another shiny new pen!
The senior guys on the E190 who are not getting a line due to junior LCA are getting compensated for it. They are getting an 85 hour gaurantee and many of them are getting hotels at the companies expense because they don't feel they should have to pay for a crashpad.
