Leave it to you to find the worst of any scenario. No, you're not a bitter old man, you just have opinions.
If they fly the reserves 85 hrs a month, it's abuse. They hardly fly them at all and now one can't be competitive. Nothing but negative from you my friend, any everyone can see it. The FACT is, there is enough reserve flying that those who WANT to fly can proffer for trips and fly. Those who DO NOT WANT to fly, can stay at home, get paid for it and pick up OT on their days off and get paid as he has described above. Sounds like a win to win for all to me.
To put you into perspective, can anyone here imagine spending all day trashing their old flight school or charter operator. But that is what are buddy eaglefly does. Instead of moving on to bigger and better things, he spends all his time trashing and finding whatever negative thing he can find about his former employer. They must of have messed you up good eaglefly. Bill Murray from Caddyshack comes to mind. Kind of pathetic.
