ACL, for those of us who were displaced into commuting to reserve, jumpseating to sit short call on an off day feels a whole lot like a day flying, even though it doesn't count towards our duty credit min. I have a feeling that may be what Pitts was referring to. I work fewer flying hours than I did sitting reserve at home, but my overall quality of life is optimistically 50% of what is was prior to commuting.

I had no complaints about our reserve rules when I was living in base. When displacements force a person to commute, it's a different ballgame on reserve.
