As someone that rarely bids reserve (less than 2 times in the last 4 years), I can say my experience this month in a WB category is terrible. 8 on call days and I have been used 8 days to fly and it's only the 5th of the month!? Granted, I'm not a reserve ninja, but this is really terrible, condsidering I'm 35% in category. I don't have the time or patience to sift through all the data of who was on the list and who is flying and who isn't, but it doesn't seem like they are following any of the rules anymore. No, I don't have proof, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know it's not right. If you are a commuter, I would caution anyone from bidding reserve!!!
