I don’t feel sorry for pilots who upgraded in less than 2 years and are now realizing they are looking at close to half a decade or more on reserve. Our current reserve rules are fine. We even have senior pilots bid reserve these days. That tells me it’s not that bad. Commuting and reserve never go together. That’s just poor life choices.
