Yes, reserve is hands down the biggest issue we face as a pilot group. It's not necessarily the contract - yes it sucks and has been poked full of holes - but the fact that so many pilots are on reserve is crazy, and the fact that they can zero out a reserve list on a good day. Everything falls apart on a bad day, fights get cancelled at 2 or 3 PM because crews time out due to being on duty at 4:45 AM. Where are the reserves? All used up or lost in the shuffle. By noon.

We don't have reserves, we have composite flight holders that get their assignments at midnight.
