Plus given the movement in the industry right now, you won't be on reserve very long. Try talking to some of your captains who were on reserve for multiple years while there was zero movement, and other airlines were furloughing.
you have read now what clickclickboom is saying. granted it wasnt SJS syndrome that made me take this airplane ( his shortsightedness ) but he may have a point that yeah this thing will go super senior and yeah perpetual reserve. pfff why are we even hiring new FO's on it then?
ill also say that trying to avoid rsv is not belittling others that where on rsv for many years.. I think this forum is somehow trying to make that correlation but thats false. the reality is if the regional s are looking for pilots there shouldn't be any rsv or certainly not down the rabbit hole goes my seniority forever as click click is saying. Im thinking that other regionals wont have this massive influx of the more senior pilot group coming over and for instance republic that has now sorted its contract at 40$ an hour plus a 7500 $ may attract a new group hence no rsv on that side.
seems logical to me
