It appears that FDOs are already gone for Global anyway, I’m guessing basic reserve could be next.
FDOs being gone for global really isn't a win. You can only be rolled into a basic trip on an FDO. While the 777 does more domestic than the 787, let's be realistic, how often is a 777/787 pilot being rolled into a basic trip? If we keep the same number of days off all that's really going to happen is that FDO will now just become another RDO. Congratulations, you have just as many rollable days as current book.
