RSV at Southwest is way better, especially if you live in domicile. The contract has decent work rules. It's still reserve but not a bad deal if you're within the 2-hour callout. I flew every day except two last summer but then it tapered off fast in the fall. In the winter I was holding blank lines but with RSV blocks and I wasn't flying much. As a commuter I ended up giving some days away.

The schedulers are way friendlier than at a regional and the work rules mean you actually make money if you get used and rerouted, something that can happen a lot on RSV, especially in the busy summer.

I started bidding for June of last year and I think I got my first blank line in October, which was mostly blocks of RSV anyway. I am holding hard lines now.
