Most categories average 15 to 25% reserve coverage. I added a few percentage points for those who prefer a line, and are able to hold one solely because of senior pilots bidding reserve.

The percentage of pilots who benefit directly from our reserve rules, in any given month, is lower than the percentage of pilots who commute.

I rarely bid RES but support reserve rule improvements anyway. EDP and SIT were also terrific improvements, despite not being a direct benefit to WB pilots. Any QOL improvement that adds value to our PWA while directly benefiting a significant portion of our pilot group is worthwhile, IMHO.
