Skywest has some of the worst reserve rules in the industry. long call is great but then they just convert you to short call. Seniority is one of the last things they look at when assigning trips. They do things all day against the policy manual when it benefits THEM! OH and then OBR, they hate paying people to sit around doing nothing, so they send you to sit somewhere else in a hotel to do nothing, even though it costs them more. Forget about asking for anything on reserve they love to say no, its indentured servitude here on reserve. that being said at home would make a great deal of difference than commuting to reserve here. But there is growth and movement.... once you get off reserve its a huge quality of life booster. Pros and cons at every regional!
I can honestly say if I was looking at years of reserve here I wouldn't have made it to my first anniversary, on the flip side now that I'm holding a decent line I'm happy to be here over many other regionals
