Agreed
But, if their QOL is so much better in most respects, why did they have so many unfilled positions in not only Capt seats, but also the vaunted WB FO? That's what I'm still trying to parse and my friend has not shed any sunlight. I'm entertaining thoughts on the subject.
BTW..."the reserve system only impacts a small percentage compared to the overall group"? 20-30%
IS smaller than the whole , but it is still substantial( at least for me it is)
