Reserve sucks.
Reserve sucks even more if you commute.
I hope we see reserve improvements in he next contract.
The SRL gave some people the option to not be on reserve. Thats all I was trying to say. I wasnt senior enough to get a SRL in my BES so it was a moot point.

In SFO I believe it’s has more to do with commuting to reserve more than being on reserve.

And like Thor said: the current situation is hardly a valid metric for much of anything relating to normal ops.

the point is that things can change and even though you bid a new BES and should have been. Sry solid into above the g line territory - all of the sudden you are not anymore and on reserve.
the current scenario is the extreme but the same could happen with another slow down.
bottom line - sh$& happens and all of a sudden you are in reserve again - and not by choice.

Even if you don't want to bid reserve yourself, good reserve rules make it go more senior and therefore you are competing with less pilots for the good lines. It's no different than making narrowbody aircraft trips better even though you are on a widebody.
