I've been keeping very busy. Been crediting over 100 hours each month. reserve life is fairly stable. Been on the plane for 5 months now and I just had my first reserve day that I didn't fly. So basically reserve is almost like holding a line. Plane flies like a dream, especially the 900 (theres nothing like climbing at 1500fpm with a full boat through 35,000). Captains are a lot happier, as even the junior capts on it are holding lines when they could not on the 50.

But, if you're more senior to me, its terrible. You never get time off. A lot of captains are very senior. Long flights. etc
