I have a hope that with the ability to get paid for extensions, as well as the FRMS waiver that maybe life on reserve might slightly improve. With those two things available assuming the TA passes, the need for excessive short call coverage should be reduced. Just a wet dream probably, but something I thought made sense.

As to the fight to improve reserve assignment process, it sounds like they were too far apart. Would you accept a maximum number short calls being able to be assigned in exchange for having a 1201 report time on day 1 instead of 1000. And maybe get paid a few hours for a FSB assignment in exchange for not being released on your last day until 2359 if you next day off was a FDO or RDO or VDO?
