I don't disagree that someone has to be there, they'd just need to staff better. I'll also rephrase my position, it should be the same as line protections in a holiday month. Noone above 50 percent (i know its of lineholders) should be subject to coverage. Certainly we should never see the number 2 pilot reserve have coverage, especially when they're top page. Treating reserves a second class citizens is and odd mentality here.

If I recall correctly, they used to staff reserves at 30% of a category. Now we regularly see reserves in the teens. Im not saying we have to go back to 30% but a set min of 20% or more would be a good tradeoff.
