Day 1 you fly somewhere, and then sit in a company-paid hotel, possibly for days waiting for them to need you again? Is it a 2-hour callout FROM the hotel..? Please elaborate for us who are only used to regionals/legacies.
90% of reserve is long call. 12 hours from initial contact to the plane. Some is shortcall at 2 hours.
Most lines start as reserve lines which have flying added to them about a week in advance. Without turning this into a technical discussion of al the possibilities expect to commercial somewhere on day 1 experience 14-16 days of a mix of flying and sitting in hotels (25/75 split) and commercial home on your last day.
