There are multiple factors but reserve is certainly one of them for a part of the population.
I don’t disagree, although there seem to be enough people taking it regardless of the rules, keeping TK humming at capacity. I just don’t think the changes are going to move the needle very much other than for the most junior. No proposed change to LC callout is a big downer. I could also see the LPAs/g-line driven higher to absorb the manpower change, making being a junior lineholder even less attractive than it already is. Hopefully ALPA has something up their sleeve not reflected in the open items.
