There is a fundamental disconnect here. The regional airline opinion that reserve is just something to suffer through is not going to fly with Blue pilots. We have a good number of pilots who reserve on purpose, or cycle between RSV and line when it suits them. At times RSV goes senior. We can drop or swap RSV days, and that's not going away in the name of "you'll be a lineholder someday" or "RSV only lasts XX years". The point of a collective union should be to create as many desirable positions as possible, not for some to get fat eating the rest.

Some of you seem want to leave things as they are with RSVs, and throw a small bone to them instead of allowing RSV to be 1st class citizens, that's just not going to happen.

And RSV times are increasing as our airlines get bigger and more mature. Gone are the days of the junior upgrade only being on RSV for months, that time is measured in years now.
