Are you even a Delta pilot? Why would you not want this for the pilot group?
I have bid reserve on purpose most of my Delta career. I know where improvements can be made.
If you keep everything in base, the company will need more pilots, more GS will go out and reserve guys/gals will not fly as much and not DH around the system.
Reserve should also get 1 hour of pay over the guarantee for every SC assigned.
You should also be allowed to move a golden day around in the month and keep that golden day.
Long call should go to 14 or 15 hours instead of 12 hours.
Sick if needed, like AA has.
