Thanks, folks. Definitely some info in there I wasn't aware of. And some that's not a surprise - and definitely within the theme of "reserve sucks."
Fingers crossed that my time at a regional is limited; I'm the odd ball that just needs a couple hundred hours of SIC time as I sit with >1000 jet PIC, but less than 1500TT. Fingers *very* crossed.
For one of the specific questions, though, I think I asked it poorly. (Min day.) Aside from guarantee, what does "No minimum day pay for reserve pilots" mean from the PSA profile here on APC?
