Almost inconsequential difference, but you’re not the first person peddling this as fact: you’re using reserve MPG to line MPG. I know it’s just a few hours different, but it’s a bit disingenuous. 73 to 36.5 is 50% and would be apples to apples. Going from line MPG to reserve MPG would even be a better comparison since we’re likely to have more people on reserve. Like me I guess, my MPG will go from 70 as a line holder to 36.5 on reserve. Less than 50%. That would also be disingenuous, though, so let’s just stick with like to like comparisons.
It does make it easy to identify what your spin is, though.

What is the rest of the airline doing? Who else is taking cuts to save money and/or jobs?

I wouldn't be totally opposed to a flat 10 percent cut for Oct to March to see how it goes, and if that saves 2000 jobs, or 3000 jobs I would be good with doing that. But, I don't think those major cuts, starting at 18% are fair. Management would certainly gain a labor cost advantage?

it is amazing that this is one of the first times this is being said explicitly. As though some of the NO voters have not done the math on how many extra days a month they will work when they cannot hold productive or commuteable trips OR have to commute to a new base entirely.
A good friend (seniority ~2800) of mine told me he had to walk through the scenario with a friend about what life looks like as a widebody CA reserve driving to work (if/when called in) versus a narrow body line holder…
