The SRL offered now makes reserve a choice. Not a profitable choice, but a choice.

Judging by the amount of open time alerts that have come across my phone in the past 3 days...I think reserve is not going to be a quiet time.

I’m not saying that reserve rules shouldn’t be improved, but when negotiating a contract how much negotiating capital should be spent on reserve rules? In times of good and bad, the majority of the group is not on reserve at any given time.
Edit: I meant this more as a question than a stir the pot statement. What should be done, and is there a limit as to what should be done to accomplish those goals?
