imho this isn't something to stress out about while enjoying the best job in the world ... but maybe I am too thick-skinned/intolerant

Used to feel that way about the FOM and the words after the SHALL. ALways used to be meet at plane. However with the heat of last few months best to tick that box just in case things go way south and ends in FSI. This assumes no one has a commute or drive issue (accidents have ticked up for some reason).
Recent debacle with FSAP's only strengthens that thought process. Welcome to The U! They can strike SHALL anytime now fwiw...

The cap is useless and you know it. That’s why they convert you day one of your reserve block to force commuters in base. Sucks to suck. They play games just to bend their reserve pilots over all the time at UA. Every UA pilot we’ve had in the jump grieves when reserve life is brought up. It’s a “flex” to brag about being a line holder at UA. Add the horrible commuter policy with reserve abuse by schedulers and it’s like being at a regional all over again for newbies. It’s also why your CA upgrade is so junior, to avoid reserve life.
There's a reason why United is well known for having reserve go more junior compared to Delta and AA.

LaxtoDen and his best friend AAhole are both here to defecate all over the place like the two uninformed lobotomized twins they are! Thanks boys, now get the F out.
Perfect.

Some of you think it's the equivalent of going five over the speed limit. Good luck with that line of logic if you ever get put through the ringer for some reason. Sorry for the 5 minute inconvience, but CYA is the game in this career esp right now. I'll make it up in beers at the layover if you want, but not at The Yardhouse.

If you call what you're flying a "jet", your number on the tool scale starts to increase. Just about as good as showing up with a Ray-Ban holster on and smacking gum over a headset.
We had one idiot that had a train whistle that he would blow before taxi. What I was fantasizing about doing to him reminded me of a Daffy Duck cartoon.
True Story.
