In fairness, before the co. stopped sending anyone to LGA to stop the bleed from the hotel LOA, I know many pilots who enjoyed sky high QOL during their first 3 mos of NY reserve. That LOA meant a lot to a lot of people.

The "positive space" was a sham though, and got dismantled 2 months in when they took away the ability to check-in, making it the equivalent of a D1. It may be working again now, who knows.
