My comment was tongue in cheek and was based on the amount of negative noise here on APC the last time a reserve thread came up. I think it was titled "Fixes to Reserve". I have spent a lot of time on reserve at UAL, and much of that was not by "choice", unless choosing to come to work here was a choice.
Your average line holder, who lives in base, and who never plans on sitting on reserve again would rather see financial gains, than QOL gains in reserve rules.
I think we're on the same page.
