Thanks!! I did get offered both aircraft, but went with the CRJ though to get off reserve faster.

First off, congratulations!

Now, can someone please explain to me what the big deal with reserve duty is? The way people talk about trying to avoid it, you'd think it was the equivalent of floggings. You get paid to sit at home and wait to be called for work. If you don't get called, great! If you do, well you were planning on working anyway. What's the story? What am I missing?

Reserve while living in base is great! Commuting to reserve blows.

I commute from OH to ORD. It only works if you live in base.

Don't move to base....
