From another thread...This should scare any commuter that will be sitting reserve, especially in the Basic category. When I consider it, to a west coast base, I'll just reread this bullet and consider myself lucky. I understand the desire to want to fly internationally, especially when one has spent many, many years flying domestic, its just our reserve rules ruin it...
Once again the EWR 777 FO G-Line is ludicrously low (or high depending on how you interpret). That's around 85-88%. How are they manning reserves?

Summer is coming...
