Sled,

Pilots (on both forums) who have suggested that the reserve system could use some tweaking have been ridiculed and labeled as "whiners". My comment was sarcastic in nature given that this thread has offered up numerous examples which help to debunked the label.

Occasionally, reserve can be a great gig for some pilots in some bases. Next month a whole slew long time line holding SFO 777 pilots are going to get a taste of it. Let's hope they are all so lucky.

Glad things are working out for you.
