Additional day off (11-13 days off, usually 12).
Early release if unused on last day.
Elimination of reserve leveling (a reserve now fights a chance to break guarantee versus being capped as they near 75 hours of credit).
Ability to commute in during call out window (eg can arrive in nyc at 12:30 instead of 10:00 am).
Reserves are 100% free to pick up flying on days off as long as they provide the rest prior to starting a reserve assignment. (Or after).
Reduction in ready reserve assignment, only 3 per seat per day up to 10 times a month per person (great unless you’re one of the bottom 15 plugs).
30% long call.
Alternate deadhead home (huge for reserves since many assignments end with a deadhead).
These are just a few things I can think of.

Is that a lot?
And I’m at about 80% of the reserves in base.

Now everyone reading the above don't panick. Just highlighting what a worse case is. We staffed for airplanes that never came, and might never. Most companies would have already started furloughing. We seem happy to keep the extra guys around.
