So everyone is complaining of being on reserve for a year or so, huh? I am at CMR and I have been on reserve for 5 out of the 7 1/2 years I've been here. I did a year as an FO and now I have done 4 years as a captain with no end in sight. I am pretty burnt out but I have managed to handle it by using the thought that while I am on a reserve day, I am the companies to abuse. People who think they are going to get to go home at the end of a trip while on reserve are just kidding themselves.
