I would rather fly nothing but redeye two day transcon trips on the 757 than fly anything on the guppy. Those two day trips are extremely productive, and with a duty day of maybe seven hours, you've got plenty left in the tank for actually enjoying yourself.

Variety? How about the variety of twelve hour days with two bag drags and three legs flying the nastiest handling, most uncomfortable airliner ever devised by humans, all for the same amount of pay as a leisurely trip to Lexington and 48th on an airplane whose flightdeck you can stand up in.

As far as reserve right now, you'll be working or short call. No FSB.
