Also to add being on reserve you cannot be junior manned. It’s in the contract. As being on reserves for 2.5 years I can share this:

—15 days off minimum
—you will pay for a hotel front or back unless you can catch a redeye home on a PM block.
—with all the changes you will make more then a junior line holder when said and done on credit.
—even 1 week of vacation you can turn it into 2 weeks because weekend reserve blocks touches any block of vacation on two reserves. I promise that, you can’t get more junior then me.
—Usually you will get released from deadheads on your last day as long as it’s a single deadhead back to domicile and you have less then 7 hours of duty left.
