I care it is gone. I never bid reserve, because due to family I need to know when I will be home. Because of checkerboarding and other good reserve rules I did not have to do reserve when I took first available upgrade. Senior people bidding reserve massively increases QOL for junior people. And it was in the contract so spare me the "it was abuse" wailing. Next you will tell me I should plan 4 flights so I don't abuse the commute policy, or to extend on a red eye to not abuse the 12.5 actual on duty. IT IS/WAS A NEGOTIATED BENEFIT. And I think we gave it away without getting enough back. We have DTZ and R/G. Are you suggesting we only drop when the grid is really doubleplus green to make sure NK doesn't have to XY? I think we should do the opposite, so when arbitration starts, we can show how much it costs the company, and we get compensation if it is taken away from us.
