What are the rap times and do they release you early on your last day? 0500 or 1100? 12 hrs, 13 hrs etc?
How much do you get used in the smaller bases?
Easy to trade days around?
Is there a first out / last out option?
I would guess that as hiring has been stopped for 18 months it’s too hard to tell as to how king reserve will last, but if those on reserve would chime in, I would appreciate knowing what I’m letting myself in for.
Reserve varies big time on what base you are in. If you are in a small base that is not within driving distance to other bases (BLI SAV GRR etc) you will probably fly a few times per month, at most. If you are in Florida, your life will be a nightmare, except for VPS but you'll probably get TDY for a few months so that equals things out. LAS/IWA/LAX vary on the month and what type of RAP you bid. If you bid 3p-3a you'll fly a lot less, but when you do, it will likely be a tough one.
