Exactly. I would expect that.
Then the guys who truly didn't want to be on reserve could hold lines.
Ultra long call, a 75 hour guarantee, strictly voluntary short call with 2 hours pay above the guarantee for every short call, stuff like that ---- but only for NYCM88B or MSPM88B or DTW320B, etc.
You'd have plenty of guys bid that. The rest can then be lineholders.
Or reserve
by choice on bigger equipment.
That would be more fair and cheaper than trying to make reserve life easier and commutable for wide-body captains.
