There will have to be some compromise for reserve life, for the past several contracts the narrative has been “you spend a couple months on reserve as a new hire and a couple months as an upgrade and the rest of your career as a line holder and life is good, why waste negotiating capital on reserve rules?”. That’s may still hold true for some bases for FO’s, but upgrades will see much longer times on reserve, especially merging with B6.

Reserve pickups inside 48 hours when the grid is green is a no-brainer, let the guys who want to fly on reserve fly, and let them have a chance to fly the trips they prefer instead of waiting and hoping. There could also be some way to effort limited reserve drops without undermining the grid for line holders.
