Reserve QOL though, especially for commuters, still trails the industry - including many regionals.

- No options commutable on both ends
- No real trip ownership (still have to be in position for the RAP)
- No self assigning trips or proffering of trips
- No long call / short call
- Reserves must stay phone available even after returning from an assignment
- Can't trade reserve days with the company or move reserve days unless another pilot agrees to trade
- Can't drop reserve days regardless of staffing
