Now it’s years.
After talking to a JB pilot about their reserve QOL and seeing how much (little) they fly, I think I’d much prefer what they have.
Either way we definitely need some provisions to improve QOL and pay during the JCBA.
FWIW I voluntarily did reserve for Nov/Dec. I have flown two days in that time so far and expect to fly another 2/3 over Christmas. So 5 working days in 2 months.
