More flexibility to swap into commutable trips etc...
Yup unfortunately I live it. Reserve as a Captain is even worse right now. Get used every day. They run out of reserves on an almost daily basis now and throw out RSA’s. When that’s not enough they start calling everyone on their day off regardless if you’re on the do not call list or not and regardless if it’s 3am.
