Lots of really good answers so far. It is important to emphasize the poor reserve rules, and how abysmal commuting to said reserve is. On the flip side, the Amazon flying has made some lines available that are better for commuting. Trip rig is poor and as a result days off are poor, especially for reserve but also for lineholders.

The fact that there are a lot of positive things out there that may come to fruition soon makes it an attractive gamble, as long as you are aware that it is just that, a gamble. Where else can you go now and do the flying we do with lots of growth and low upgrade times? idk of anywhere. The fact that upgrades are back to just over 2 years after all that has happened in the last year is impressive to me.
