Agreed...so much of it depends on where you live and your BES. I've commuted to reserve and hated it with every fiber of my being.
PreCovid WB FO reserve was amazing. I've shared my 202 day record of not being used several times on this forum and I hope someone can beat it!
Post Covid NB Captain reserve on DCA 320 has been palatable thus far. Last month, I worked one 3-day trip and one 2-day trip, had 5 unused SCs/FSBs (3/2). I hate FSBs, but until the contract changes it, I'll just suck it up and go hang out at the airport in sweats and a hoodie.
