Dom rsv can't fly more than 89 credit hours. That includes actual flt time, 1/2 dh, vac drops (5 hrs per rsv day), training, and sick leave. I have hit the cap with barely 70 hours actual.
89 hours of pay for 70 hours of flying, for a reserve no less. 14 hours block to block. Sounds almost strange compared to he FARs we live under. First class DH to your PC. It almost sounds dignity and respect. "Domestic reserve days are inviolate." Wow.
