I guess you never got 5 days of Ready Reserve, or during that RR 5 hours into it released into rest for 8 hours exactly, only to be scheduled to fly a Stand-Up, and had RR added right to the limit after getting back. Or any other number of SS punishments for being on reserve. SKYW reserve was easily, by far the worst experience of my aviation career.
Glad they didn't ride you like a rented Army mule, but for every story like yours, there are 50-100 stories like mine. I have said it repeatedly, there are 2 SKYWs, the regular line and reserve, the reserve contingent is treated as 14th class citizens and the line holders are treated like 6th class citizens. I was never released early from RR, and wondered what I had done to deserve the treatment I received.
