I think the total reserve system doesn't need to be thrown out either. We need to find some middle ground. The old system was not efficient, but I did love it. The new system disregards seniority. You nailed it with the day groupings. I was recently in day groupings with very few others all month. Myself and the few other lucky fellows got to fly all month while the rest of the reserve group, mostly junior to me flew much less, simply because of the number of pilots in that particular day grouping. The crazy thing was my raw score was so much higher. That was not efficient and it abrogated seniority.

Most don't understand the reserve system because they have never worked under it. As more do with this AE, I think the reps will hear more and it will become more of a priority to the group, especially now that more will be commuting.
