As mentioned above, the reserves will be working the same amount of days for 15% less, so I'm not sure about the "working less, not working for less..."
Even if they kept the same number of days on call the amount of actually flying a reserve could contractually be used would be reduced by the ALV reduction. With the planned staffing levels reserve utilization is not going to be high and given pilot posts here and in reality, line holders will be picking up a lot of open time further reducing reserve utilization.
I have seen nothing however that indicates we could not negotiate a reduction in on call days with a ALV reduction. As this evolves what your going to start hearing more and more often is this. “Damn, I wasn’t senior enough to hold reserve next month”
