This could also help lineholders close to the g-line if they prefer more days off.
Positive space commuting helps all pilots. Live out of base, helpful. Live in a base but too Jr for that fatty plane in your base, commute to a coast. Any pilot can become a commuter for whatever reason, so it helps all pilots. The more pilots that get to work, the fewer Reserves needed. Besides, UA already uses PS to their benefit, like when they can't predict the weather and a base shiittes the bed.
Later Reserve start time helps all pilots. Lets assume 12 start/12 release last day. Potential for more premium, both reserve and LH, assuming Add Pay is available for Reserve to take assignments before 12 in new deal. Commuters get more time, locals get more access to premium. I think that covers everyone.
