I should have moved to one of RPA's cheaper Cost of living bases instead, and went with them. I wouldn't have had to commute, and reserve time would have been in weeks or days, not the 7-9 months i'll be looking at now that Delta has delayed the supposed "growth" that was supposed to happen.
Welcome to the regionals. In the recent past pilots sat reserve for years and years at regional wages never making more than about $30,000-$35,000 /year. It’s all about perspective.
