And others in your group have made it clear that the ability for lineholders to have such great drop experiences is because RSVs can't drop/swap. That's not me saying so, it's your guys. So it clearly is at the expense of RSVs.
The JCBA is going to have to be a balanced agreement.
For what it’s worth, some folks bit reserve so they don’t fly. Depends on the month. PBS awards days off first on a reserve bid so that helps some CAs out when their grid is red.
That said, I still think the best way to go about it is to keep it the way it is and have the reserve pilots aggressive pick up trips within the 48 hour mark. That would help commuters on reserve.
