In the plausible scenario where a category is more properly staffed - this may even be the majority of categories now or soon - reserves simply aren’t used so much. Personally, that’s what I want on reserves. In exchange for more days of obligation, I want to work less and be home more. Any policies we seek that are focused on how our operation deals with green slip #7 are, IMHO, ultimately destructive to the pay and qol for many, while enhancing pay and qol for a few.
