This reflow thing is a huge QOL for me, because I bid certain layovers and pairings.

This!! I haven't been reflowed very often, but one time I had a long overnight in SFO. Spouse and kids were coming in and we were going to go watch a Giants game. Got reflowed to AUS (which is a favorite overnight) and my flight to SFO didn't get cancelled. I was just moved around to cover a flight.
The company is trying to paint this as pilots should do something when the flight cancels. I have no problem with that. My flight cancels and you want me to do a round trip while I wait to get back on my original trip? No problem. You want to take away a long overnight that my seniority holds when I bid because you want to run a domicile with 2% reserve coverage? Nope.
If you want to bid for a block of days and you don't care where you fly, bid reserve!!
