Examples that are better at some LCCs and regionals include credit towards guarantee for field standby (4 hours) or no field standby all together, no flexible days off (so not worried about getting rolled once a month), short and long call lines so long calls aren't constantly converted, ability to pick up on off days, ability to trade reserve assignments not yet started for something else that appears, etc.

Triumph, do you not think I have grounds to say what I said, as if I haven't actually been on reserve anywhere? Why would you say "not likely" to the idea that reserve is better at a regional? It is, which means we should strive to improve. Reserve at UA ranks third out of 3 for me because I've experienced better, and I'm not alone. I've lived in base and out of base for all 3 companies. Again, I'm very happy to be here but we need improvements to QOL for reserves.

Just my two cents on reserve needing some work, I don't mean to drift on the thread. To the OP, I hope things work out the best that they can. United is a good place to be.
