Some of them would be lineholders instead of reserve, because pilots senior to them are out on a SIL.

In fact, lines may very well go more junior without SILs present. The numbers point to SILs being bad for reserves overall, especially since they reduce the number of days off for all the reserves (eliminating the extra X day).
I think the company's admission of being overstaffed, by offering SILs, drew attention to the fact the reserves weren't being utilized and it went senior to where it had before. What used to be a secret known only to those on reserve was publicized for all to read about.

The next thing that is going to happen is westjet is going to start flying into our hubs and parking right next to us from mid sized Canadian cities. Both Aeromexico and westjet have 20 Dreamliners on order.
The reason these are more dangerous than our other jv is that they surround our borders. Passengers can now go to Toronto or Mexico City instead of dtw msp or atl
Vancouver instead of Seattle
List goes on

You are accusing one or more reps of misconduct.
So be SPECIFIC.
What is the misconduct?
