Totally agree. Which is why we need a smorgasbord of reserve options. I’m a local, I’d happily sit an entire FSB line with the right add pay and maybe an extra day or two off. Same with SC. That way the local isn’t crediting 75 hours for 18 days of work and the commuter isn’t getting 80 hours but a bunch of unused SC ruining their QOL.
some improvements may benefit one group over another but right now everyone gets hosed on reserve.
I’m optimistic about the new reserve rules but the devil will be in the details re language and how the company uses it in practice.
