How is the schedule for a typical reserve guy (again how easy or hard is it to drop/pick up reserve days)?

I know these are a lot of questions, but I'm trying to get a good feel for what the QOL is like in regards to the typical pilot's schedule.

Thanks!
Wow, great questions. It would probably take several pages to answer properly. I'll try to put something together for you, but if you don't have an internal recommendation (who could answer these questions) it probably won't matter. In the mean time try the NKS Hiring thread.
