Interesting take... it's a great health risk, but extra money makes it OK? Really... it is a tough issue. I don't know the answer, aside from making any assignment to go there completely voluntary.. even for reserves. But I expect that is there is some sort of premium on the flight time/pay, it will never be in open time. As it is, it is rarely in open time now.
