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.

I'd have no interest in getting 4 hours towards guarantee for a field standby as I have yet to come anywhere near breaking guarantee. I'd much rather have an hour of pay after the 2nd short call / field stby (something no other legacy that I know of offers).

I'm pretty junior and intentionally bid reserve because I like getting paid to sit at home with my family.... But I live in domicile.

Again, I realize the rules could use improvement for those that commute. But if you live in domicile there really isn't a lot to complain about.
