It sucks. Been on reserve at SKYW for a year and a half now and its no fun. Our crew schedulers never seem to leave you alone. They'll call you on your days off, or if you're on AM reserve you may be getting calls before 4am so they can give you a 'heads up'

Also you only get 10 days off but could end up working every day you're on reserve and not even break guarantee.

Our ready reserve policy is horrendous too. You'll get done with a trip and get to sit around in one of our 'lavish' crew rooms for usually between 4-6hrs.
