Maybe I'm confused.
SRLs are in the UPA, the LOA just expanded how they could be used. The expanded flexibility in SRLs will go away with the LOA but the option from straight 50hr SRLs will remain.
I don't think either Empty Line or the guaranteed 3-month COLAs with benefits at active-pilot rates is in the UPA. Those are in the LOA and will go away when the LOA terminates.
What do I have wrong?

I hear you. Not on reserve, but with all of the SRLs, I haven’t worked in nearly a year and a half.

Exactly. Zero liners are getting the stuff other pilots don’t want, and those lines are awarded by seniority anyway. What’s the problem? Seems like a pretty big win for a lot of people, are senior guys even affected by these AT ALL?

The problem comes from a segment of our pilot group being jealous of what other people have. They are so worried about someone else having a better deal than what they have that they want to do away with any "loophole." Lineholders might have bad trips that conflict with the better trip that drops into open time at the last second. Zero fly lines are gambling with a goose egg paycheck that trips will become available so I don't see how it hurts anything other than their ego that the junior guy might luck into a decent trip and avoids reserve.
