Anyone with a spouse making six figures would be insane to upgrade onto reserve, especially if it meant commuting to another base.
There are a handful of men & women at Mesa with spouses making really good money in PHX & IAD. Simply being home with the kids instead of hiring a babysitter is probably worth as much as the pay boost from FO lineholder to CA on reserve!!!
