One need look no further than what recently happened to the G line in DC (777) and now in SFO (777) than to get an idea of how many guys will suddenly find themselves on Short Call.
You know what???????
Just a month or two ago, right here on this United page, right here on APC. Some ignoramuses made a comment as to the effect that we don't need to fix reserve BECAUSE
anybody who's on reserve did it to themselves therefore deserve what they get. My point EXACTLY was that;
NO!! sometimes when things aren't good with the airline industry that you can become totally accidentally a reserve guy for a LONG LONG time against your will. That is why reserve needs to be fixed.
