If you improve RSV to the point that senior bidders pick it, doesn't that improve things for everyone? For everyone above the G-line that bids reserve, someone below the g-line gets a line. Everyone senior to you that bids reserve improves the line that you are awarded. Look at all the senior types (but not senior enough) that bid non-profile during the holidays. They aren't senior enough to get Christmas off, but they can get it off with a reserve line.

The company will never sign off on rules that would make it that good, and the union would never burn that much negotiating capital to make it happen since the vast majority of voting members providing feedback to what they want aren’t on reserve. There needs to be big improvements to take some of the sick out of our current rules, but being a line holder will almost always provide a better QOL than reserve.
