That fixes the problem. Right now the 10-hour call out from SC is an incentive to overuse SCs. Make them both 12 and that particular benefit of SC goes away.
The pilots I know like short calls. Including me. I don't want a limit.
The only big tweak I would do to reserve is make FSB add pay.
Global reserve has to have rollable RDO's.
ALPA has never negotiated a 10 am start time for reserves. It was just a lucky "get". We never spent any negotiating capital on it in the past. Kudos to JH for stiff arming the company on it. But eventually, it will probably go away.
Don't commute to reserve.
