At least a year of reserve and half of that sitting at the airport. Anybody tells you different is lying, misinformed or lucky the list was moving when they got hired...

2 - 30 hours block and block to duty ratio is absurd! Think out and back LGA - BUF with 15 hours duty. Sitting since 0500 to get a call at noon leaving in 20 minutes, 3 hour sit in BUF then JFK with LIMO back to LGA. Liv'in the dream, baby!
