I'm on reserve and with things the way they are there is no movement. I am extremely low on the list...last to be precise. I live about 45 minutes driving from my base. I usually work 5 on with 3 days off. Those 5 days on are usually spent sitting "ready reserve" at the airport usually starting at 0530 (bc no one else wants to come in for that). At my regional we can "proffer" or bid for open trips the day before and we find out the night before if we picked up a trip. I rarely ever get a trip, it usually goes to the higher guys on the reserve list. Reserve can be great if you have the seniority to get trips or sit at home on the 2 hr call out. However if you're hovering near the bottom plan on spending a lot of time sitting around the airport. Last month for example I flew 31 hrs while some guys higher up on the reserve list flew 60-70 hrs. I spent 11 days on ready reserve at the airport and picked up 2 overnighters and 2 day trips.
