I'm at 2300 so I'm slightly below the fringe for the majors and Spirits/JetBlues of the industry.
The reserves could definitely augment the crappy pay from the regionals. However, you are in the same boat I'm in. Do military guys like us need to go the regional route to look more competitive or will other routes to stay current / build hours work for us and keep us out of the "regional category" and looked at as military.
