And that guy is the reason for the provision that prohibits reserves from ever having less than 3 reserve days. Won't even be able to drop or trade if it causes less than 3 in a row. The P3 2 on 1 off trick is being banned. Watch P3 become the junior contact time with all the "clock swapping" that will go on with 3+ days available. And then those P1's will get the lovely 5 am wakeup to be converted to CDO flying that night because the night before the P3 was converted to cover day flying. There really needed to be protections on day/night swapping and first and last day start and end times for that give. The reserve abuse I'm seeing in all the reserve rule tweaks isn't worth that one extra day off. And who the hell cares how much a reserve day is worth (raising it to 4 hours) since there is still no credit awarded to a reserve day not called in. All that does is burn more sick time for a day called off.
Strictly speaking about the reserve proposals, take it from a career reserve, they aren't good. Not worth just the one extra day off a month. Maybe if they added in that any unused reserve day also credited 4 hours (or at least say 3.75) then I'd probably say ok but we are making reserve even more awful for one more hard day off. And keep in mind that with one less day of reserve, and still no credit for an unused day, that makes it that much harder to hit the 83 hrs/month to keep the pay from becoming a pay cut.
