This. I don't work. People think I exaggerate. I do not. I sit Global Reserve, pick up as many short calls as I can, and do not go in. Months go by. Been rolled once, for one day.
The pilots who complain about Global Reserve seem to fall into one of three categories:
1) Pilots who do not work here
2) Pilots who are not ON Global Reserve
3) Very junior pilots with an unfavorable commute to short call who bid off the fleet as soon as they can.
