There's the rub.
Just do it for the bottom paying categories and sell it to the membership by pointing out the benefit --> no pilot at Delta Air Lines will ever have to sit reserve again unless they choose to do it.
Its a great idea in theory. From the stories I've heard on the line, reserve used to go WAY senior back a few PWA's ago. Get some of those rules back and I think you would see the same effects as "changing the rules" for the narrowbody fleets.
Call me a cynic but there are way too many fraternity hazing types that think "I had to go through it so you should too", that would nix almost anything that didn't benefit themselves directly.
