"Normal" In-base reserve pilots are definitely going to feel the sting of these ULCs if I'm reading it right. If I currently bid reserve as a local pilot, I'll now presumably get more short calls that can't be given to ULCs. I'll also get reserve assignments that would otherwise have gone junior, because there isn't 24 hours notice to assign them the trip. I'm not sure if this will spur scheduling to assign trips with more notice than they have historically (since they have to use in- and out-of-base LC reserves before ULC reserves); that could be beneficial for someone who wants a full reserve guarantee month.

It's too bad we aren't incentivizing short call volunteers with pay above guarantee (as was agreed to in previous negotiations). That could have had a similar benefit to all reserves and not just those taking a 20% pay cut to reduce exposure to short calls. I also think a 14-18 hour long call for all would have been more advantageous than these ULCs, but I guess that doesn't help the manning equation.
