Yes there are a few minor things that need to be fixed, but give me a break. Reserve is reserve, that's just the way it is, that's the nature of reserve. But it is a cakewalk compared to the days of yore.
Look no further than our competitors/brethren contracts to see how bad reserve can be. If you're new, suck it up, you'll eventually get a line. If you commute (save displacements) thats your choice. I could hold 777/787 FO, but I don't want to commute to reserve.

The one where virtually all SC and FSB's were assigned by 1100 the day prior and not handed out like skittles at the whim of whoever was in charge of scheduling that day? The one designed to minimize disruption of one's life and actually made commuting to reserve (somewhat) palatable?
I guess so.
Heard about it, sounds awesome. Also heard about they pay in the same contract. Can we get the reserve system and nothing else without giving anything back?
