I’ll take the 9 hours, thanks. I don’t normally sit reserve, but see this as a win for commuters that do; especially very junior folks. Yes, it’s a productive gain for the company (or else they wouldn’t have done it); it’s also a win for many pilots. To your point, there may be a few less green slips handed out now. However 9 vice 12 hour SC may also be the difference in allowing a commuter to get home vs. having to get hotel rooms or crash pad. And with the holidays coming up, it’s a nice QOL perk - folks may be able to make it home and see their families that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. Granted, it’s not a win for everyone for reasons previously posted by several, but many people do see this as a QOL win, especially commuters (that don’t see many GS anyway).
