One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. That’s why we have so many choices on how you bid. BWYWWWYB.

With rsv starting at 0600 and the ability to decimate premium pay, the company will have every motivation to run the worst possible g-line with the maximum allowable number of reserves.

Every airline would like to just tell every pilot what they're going to do on a day-to-day basis (keep the whole pilot group on rsv). Inefficiencies (like a 1000 start) are the only things that motivate them to do otherwise.
