Reserve, in a day silo system and not a system that rewards seniority in the slightest, is all of a sudden going to go senior?? Are you high?
How do you arrive at that conclusion? It's not like you can bid reserve as a senior pilot to avoid flying; if there's a trip that matches your availability and you have the lowest credit of the pilots on reserve, you're flying it. Nothing in the TA changes any of the fundamentals, just adds more long call options, a couple extra days off/year, etc. What am I missing?
