The "elephant in the room" that the whiners are not mentioning, is the 10 am earliest show for the 1st day of reserve. That gives most commuters to reserve 3-4 extra nights at home. We spent zero dollars negotiating that, it was a result of our contract, integrating with FAR 117.

ANY improvement to reserve, I guarantee, will be contingent on getting rid of that provision. How many of you that don't like our current system would trade that away, and for what?

Our current contract extension pushed the decision on that provision 2 years into the future, before it goes away. It will go away because 70% of us won't pay for it, including me who bids reserve half the time.
