Doesn't happen often, and your time in that "window" on the reserve list won't last long.

I doubt anyone has ever sat airport standby all month, unless they bid for a standby line (you cannot be assigned a standby line).

All of these sound like minor complaints to me. Yes, there's work to be done, but if you want to see really bad work rules, you need to look at CommutAir. Most reserve is airport reserve, and if a lineholder gets displaced for IOE? Hey, you're now on reserve!
