Sounds like some people here have never worked for a truly crappy regional if you did you wouldn't think SKW is so terrible. Those quoting how long reserve is well... They were hired at a different time I'm a 01/14 hire and was only on reserve for 3 months I don't know if it will stay like that but that's been my experience so far. It's a known fact that commuting sucks and commuting to reserve is even worse so either A. Don't do it or B. Go somewhere with a base where you want to live. SKW is a west coast senior airline if you don't want to live east of the Mississippi I'd pursue another airline out west otherwise you're going to be miserable sitting on reserve on a West Coast base. It always astonishes me how much pilots complain and I'm a pretty damn good complainer but SKW really hasn't given me all that much to complain about. That's my .02.
