Senority and QOL are a few. Also, 9 times out of 10 a FO will not go to a major from the right seat of a regional, it is about PIC turbine time, not total time and you only get the PIC when you move to the left seat.

And so I guess my question about how long is a pilot typically on reserve has already been answered huh? There's no way to know as it depends on what the general move of pilots are like at the time that you get out of training and start flying?
What about commuting pilots? Is it free to travel when even when you're off duty? Do airline pilots gets to fly for free with other airlines?
This is a great site and you clearly have lots of questions. Take an hour or two and surf through the site and all your questions will be answered.
