We have the worst reserve rules of any major airline and most regionals. 6 moveable days off (global), unlimited short calls with early release that makes you both a short call and long call reserve every day, FSB, no ability to trade reserve days with other pilots, no ability to pickup OT on days off, targeting of reserves with the silo system, heavily manipulated pool coverage that makes it impossible to move reserve days, etc etc etc. Maybe you should ask pilots at other airlines why reserve goes senior, even to commuters.
