the horror story I like to tell from my regional days was sitting reserve for 6 days on, 2 days off, 5 days on. Commute in night before the rsv because our regional was AM reserve by default. So 2 leg it to day 1. First 5 days, nothing. Get a call on day 5, converting me to PM reserve so I can operate a turn on day 6, making it uncommutable. 26 hours at home, exact same thing happens on the next stretch. So in 2 weeks, making 20K a year, I was home for 26 hours.
But yeah, Delta has the worst reserve rules in the industry.
