121 regional FO on reserve, never flying. I'm in a base and on an aircraft that never flies. Luck of the draw. I'm debating about jumping ship to Atlas to get a heavy type and stack flight hours just to leave to other majors upon being called.

Collective thoughts? How bad is this CBA for someone who wants in and then out promptly?

We'd prefer if you did us a favor and didn't bother. Nothing personal, but management is counting on low time regional guys coming here as a stepping stone, and maybe even a few getting "stuck" due to various circumstances. Again, nothing against you. If you decide that flying a widebody for well below industry standard compensation and dealing with 17 days straight on the road is that much more attractive than sticking it out at a regional, then good luck with your app. Wouldn't hurt to snag an internal rec if you know someone on property already. Also you'll want to avoid the 737 at this point. Those guys aren't flying very much. The 74 is a great airplane to fly, though the overnights aren't what they used to be pre-covid.
