just buy a $2500 travel trailer from a junkyard and move it to the parking lot of one of our fabulous highly affordable and family-friendly bases: SEA, PDX, SFO, LAX or ANC... plan on washing your under bloomers in the sink of a public bathroom .. eating vending sushi.... and never getting a day off that you planned on... (because you are sub-human aka reserve pilot)
but the bonus is getting a call from a "scheduler" who loathes you because you get 11 days off a month and they only get 8....
Welcome to Alaska all of the new fresh meat!!!!! You get to come to fly "the jet"..... (Barbi jets and the airbus don't count as actual jet flying ...only the fish hauler counts.....)

PS .... I had better reserve work rules in 1988 at a bottom feeder commuter airline....
