Man tough thing to answer as everyone's answer will be diferent . EWR commuter here on the bus since April . Reserve the whole time . It isn't too bad over all, major improvements needed. Depending really where you commute from . If II can get to base with two options prior to 10 am on day one this majorly help . And a late flight to get you home . Thus allowing you only to commute on reserve days versus your day off .
Also reserve has changed in the last 2 months on how schedules Assign short calls compared to when I first got on the line . Not sure what caused it . But long call has kinda gone away. At least in the bus in Newark . 757 guys sing a dif tune .
Pm for further info would be glad to give you any info you would like .
Congrats
