If you're based in ORD, you can do 110-130k on Reserve pretty easy without picking up too much on days off as a year 3 CA. By year 3, you're collecting all of the bonuses, which amounts to $10,000 alone.
If you're based in a more senior base with better staffing, expect less, but you won't get one of those bases as a year 3 CA so the difference is moot.
