How long have you been on reserve for? Getting stuck on reserve is always a possibility. I've been on reserve for 3 years at this company and I can guaran
DAMNtee you that it was way way way worse back then than it is now. The guys that I flew with when I first got hired sat reserve for 4-5 years!
You aren't describing anything that most of us haven't already done. If you think it's that bad then leave. Do you think reserve at Republic or GoJet will be any better?
QoL at PSA sits with line holders, the fact that you work more for less money is certainly not fair, but that isn't any different from any other airline in the entire country.
Why are you buying your own hotel out of base?
Why are you allowing the company to put you on hot reserve out of base?
