Reserve on the 70 will just depend on your seniority number. I had a wopping 9 days of reserve and have a line in Feb. The 70 is soooo much nicer. No fighting to get your bag in that stupid compartment, never have to check the oil. You can walk under the wing without having to get on your Knees. One word FADEC! Auto Bleeds, don't mess with the pacs etc.
And the FO even has his/her own hat rack!!!!
Yeah, the way I see it reserve is reserve, but if I'd be flying more on the 70/90 that wouldn't be so bad then. I don't live in CVG, so when I'm on short call reserve I want to fly and not sit on my a$$. Not sure what to do.
