Sorry James, but flying under this, and a similar system at lUAL since 06 or so, I have flown with 1 pilot on reserve that didn't like the system.

There have been lots of complaints about the screw desk, but the current system is pretty good.

When we fill out contract surveys, probably very few pilots stress desperately needed changes to our reserve system. Hence, ALPA doesn't spend a lot of negotiating capital trying to make it better.

I personally would not support (with lower wages) any change to our reserve system that makes it easier to commute to reserve. If enough pilots wanted it, ALPA would negotiate for it, and we would get to vote on it in the contract.

I would vote no.
