Reserve guarantee on the RJ isn't much of a pay raise over a 90 hour line on the Bro. When I transition I worked out that I'll likely take a pay cut. I commute from an RJ base though and would rather be on reserve in base than holding a line as a commuter.
It would take 97 hrs of credit on the EMB to get the same pay as 75 hrs of reserve pay on the RJ. Thats at my current rates, alot of guys also have the commute issue as well.
