Wow, I thought it was the other way for some reason. Trying to be home often, maybe I should try freightI'd plan on never, or close to it. Living in base helps but with staffing an issue at just about every regional you're going to work. The trips range from multiple deadheads to fly one leg to ferry flights to full blown four day revenue trips.
Do you know if that is how it works at most places for late reserves. Do you have to have seniority to bid late reserves?Where I am I sit on reserve at home. I have 9 days off next month. But I can still do errands anywhere in Anchorage and be within an hour of the airport. My QOL on reserve is awesome. If I do early reserve I generally get decent length flights, and if I sit on later reserve they generally only call me for an evening out and back. That has me done by 9pm
I want to work a lot, but just don't want to be away from home too long, but I guess it really doesn't work that way.Most larger carriers, SWA excluded, work reserves very little. If you live in base its a great life style.
Wrong business my friend.I want to work a lot, but just don't want to be away from home too long, but I guess it really doesn't work that way.

There's another category at SJI that has about 30+ guys on reserve for like 4 departures a day. Can you say never fly?Correcto.
Reserve goes fairly senior in my category because a lot of guys live in base, they're rarely used and we have a good contract.
You mileage will vary.
I dont know how it works at other places. Our bids just show reserve when we bid. But this place is a little different. All reserve is home reserve.Do you know if that is how it works at most places for late reserves. Do you have to have seniority to bid late reserves?
i sat 7 days of reserve at compass....i was called once.I'd plan on never, or close to it. Living in base helps but with staffing an issue at just about every regional you're going to work. The trips range from multiple deadheads to fly one leg to ferry flights to full blown four day revenue trips.
