I don't mind working 85-90 hour lines (at least at this point in my life), but I highly value having my days off remaining as days off. Telling the family down the line that I got a three-day trip with one reserve day remaining or that I'm being extended an additional day or two while on the road would be crushing.
I’ve been assigned to SIX day trips on my last day of reserve. Our reserve is truly the worst, even regional airlines all have better reserve than us.
