NJA is reserve on steroids for life. You never get off of reserve at NJA, you can't bid pass, and once assigned a trip you are still on reserve from minute to minute. It gets really old. Know what you're getting into if coming from a sched.
Yep. At least on airline reserve you can see where you are in the stack, see open grips and know your chances of being called. There is literally more predictability on reserve than there is on any work day at NJA.
