Are you seriously trying to compare Reserve life during Covid with reserve life in normal times?
”I’m a line holder, don’t know why guys are complaining, this reserve isn’t so bad since I know there’s 99.9% chance I will 1) not be called 2) not have my LC converted to SC during a commute 3) Not have any need to drop or swap days off since I basically have every day off and nothing I really need to do during quarantine”

Rsv picking up on days off would reduce the pool of opentime it would be impossible to trade as a lineholder. The company would be paying everything in open time above guarantee and rsv would do very little on their work days as part of their guarantee. It would also all but eliminate premium pay for everyone.
Pre China virus I bid rsv on purpose usually so this is not just a lineholder perspective.

Bottom like though, it was still tough to move days around and be legal. But there were months I was getting 79 hr reserve guarantee plus getting 21+ hrs for picking up 4 days of extra work. 100+ credit months.

It works well for res pilots that live in domicile to bump up credit with turns. That’s the intent. For res commuters aggressive bidding 2 or 3 Day trips that start on a res duty period and go into a day off works well as long as it’s finish early on a day off. That leg plus any rig is over guarantee. Same going into a block of res duty periods. Kill an rdp if your getting used anyhow and bump credit substantially. From a lineholders prospective it is a bit of a give. There’s more pilots competing for the same flying in open time. I’m a line holder but don’t mind it as you never know when you could end up on reserve. More options is usually better.
