Holding a line was great and I could make more money, but RSV isn't too bad either under the new rules we operate under now. Being senior on the rsv list, I flew 8 days last month. Living in base this is great. I've heard of guys on RSV in NY go for a couple of months without being called in for flying.
I was on reserve for 2 years as well. I can assure you, you're luck has more to do with staffing than the system you operate. Although...I have not been on reserve under the new rules. I am skeptical. A captains perspective on this would be appreciated.
Living in base is HUGE. Always remember, that can and does change.
