And with little attrition even at regionals, it's a long period of working your butt off. Hats off to those guys.
I got worked as an RJ CA on reserve in 2007. 95+ hours of credit every month for a year. Then I left for NWA. It was still better then any bar job I had. But we had a pretty good contract too, so maybe it wasn't as bad as other places.
