True but for a commuter you needed longcall or you were stuck in base for however many days you were on for. That's sucks for commuters! So sure you were first to fly but at least you werent sitting in a crashpad the whole time. That's where the current system is better, with that said it can always be made better.
I agree 100% that reserve sucks either way though
