It also keeps people sitting in crashpads around the country for no reason spending about 10% of their income, when they could be at home doing something useful until needed at Airport Ready or a call-out. I used to fly too much on reserve at another airline, but now I rarely break 10 hours a month. Would be nice to see a minimum block time while on reserve so everybody has recent experience. I just love getting in a jet at night with 6 inches of wet snow without flying for two weeks and finding the other pilot has also sat for two weeks after just finishing OE..."living the dream"! Instead of scheduling and spreading the pain, we abuse people expecting they will move up. But with stagnant movement, they quit and we wonder why.
