The reason the "abuse" happened was because of poor pay. And the abuse you refuse is called dropping days. So folks would rather drop and not get paid instead of going to work. The fix is a pay increase not getting rid of dropping days. Other option should be picking up open time while on reserve but that would interfere with more senior line holders. Don't buy what the union sold on the so called abuse. They were the ones who pointed out how to checker board because the senior guys did when they were on reserve! We were sold out and told Reserve was a "Country Club".
