I don't think you'll have to sit reserve very long, if at all depending on how training works out for you. Especially as the flow-through kicks in, there will continue to be plenty of movement in the 200 ranks. That being said, there are a lot of XJ guys/gals who have a 2nd non-aviation job... not a bad idea. Min FO pay is rough... we've all been there. Good luck!
