I saw that. It's going to end up screwing them in the end because as we go into peak flying season, the days get ridiculously late and you can't use PM reserves on their first day past their rap finish.
So, choose your poison, I guess. The PM trips that start at 10am are way too long in TAFB, which is why they end up in open time. This band aid fix will prevent those from going PBR, but now the trips that block in late or are subject to delays will end up paying premium too.
They can't cover red eyes with no red eye reserve. It will end up going into open time. If I got a call on normal AM or PM reserve that I was covering a red eye, I would just reply that I am fatigued. You can't prepare for that crap without knowing it's coming.
