Wow, are you serious?
You realize that reserves are an insurance policy for lineholders that call in sick or miss trips, etc.
That insurance policy in not infinite and runs out when they run out of reserves, and that's how premium pay is born...
You know what happens when those go unfilled? 75%, 100%, 250%(ALPA LOA in JAN 22, I think that's what it hit) premium pay. If those don't get filled, they cancel the flight and now we're talking real money $$$. Don't do that guys. That will hurt United in the $$$.
Do you people not understand how the birds and the bees of airline scheduling works?
Wow...maybe I'm misinterpreting here. Certainly you are being sarcastic and I missed the emoji?
I'll go back to lurking...I can't handle this anymore.
