A few things I can think of:

- Long call reserve
- Hybrid lines
- Aggressive pickup of OT
- Ready reserve/reserve grid utilization
Exactly this^^^^^^^^^^^^ perfectly said couldn't have said it better!
Even taking the min days off to 12 would be HUGE 3 days min off in between stretches unless opted out by the pilot. Most commute and this would be a big help to keep family lives in order. If the company would do the above rsv would be livable and more humane. Lets face it unless your picking up a crap ton of open time the rsv's are out working everyone hands down and are the lowest paid., min days off, deadheading all over the dang place after DH after DH!
