Call me weird, but I’m not going to mind reserve if that means driving to work. The Q lines suck anyway, so it’s not like life gets easier once you hold a Q400 line, you just know ahead of time the suck that’s about to happen. Interacting with crew scheduling will get old fast I’m sure, but if we stay staffed maybe it will be days at home just ready to go.. One can wish
