Why not just take GS away from Res then? What’s the difference???

I live both sides yearly. If they are giving out SS, they anticipate GS going out. Reserves will have a crack at GS, which again, are basically reserve with conflict. SS allow pilots who are below the trigger to get premium pay. SS allow commuters to get better shots at premium pay. Yes, commuting is a choice but so so many GS go out that are impossible to commute to, especially with all the auto accepts.
SS are not going to take the place of GS. It requires too much forethought by the company and something like 80% of all GS occur due to disrupted trips and sick calls
