To the guys complaining, your doing it wrong. I would never go back to my office job in NYC.
Well you
were number one on RSV, but now that you've just broadcast that information... LOL! TMI - shhhh.
Prior, understand too, that your good times are largely a result of the back-fill hiring being done to prepare for all the upgrades to the 175. This creates an overstaffed situation - hence offering Vol Leaves.
To the person asking the question about working on Reserve. Even as the most senior person, it will ebb and flow. Some stretches of months will be good to you, some stretches you will work every day. I'm talking Macro here - from a decade of experience here. I have always bid RSV, been in 4 different domiciles, 3 air-frames, and never commuted. It is not always as rosy as Prior's current life.
