wait work rules actually apply to reserve...because as far as I can tell I've been the company's b#$@% for the past few months and I live in base. I can't even imagine commuting to reserve again.

AWAC

-On call for 15 hours with a 2 hour callout (although with the 2 hour callout you're essentially done after 12, just have to answer the phone if they call within the 15)
-9/10 call outs are for a DH to pick up a trip out of base since I'm RDU, but we do get full DH pay
-averaging at least 80 hours a month since going back to reserve in DEC
-12 days off a month if you live in base, if you commute there's not a chance with the 15 hour on call days, and good luck getting released early enough to commute home, or vise versa at the start of a sequence.
-trip and duty rigs apply once assigned a trip 1/2 duty 1/4 trip (saved me on a double DH to pick up a broken plane in ROC and getting stuck there for 2 days. Actual block was only about 3 or 4 hours in 3 days)
-Can't speak for ready reserve since there are none in RDU, but from what I hear it's much better
