OK, so I'm thinking I may be about the most popular kid in my class, whenever that is. High last 4, and all I want is to eventually end up in an NYC M88. Planning to commute from MHT/BOS, and that seems pretty doable, even to for long call reserve (and if all goes sour w/flight availability, it's a 5hr drive).

As a mil guy with zero airline experience, can someone give me a good idea on what a "typical" NYC M88 junior reserve month might look like? What about one of the most junior lines?

Also, when you sit long call, is that a 12hr or 24hr stint? I assume you're in crew rest as soon as you accept the call, and then your duty day starts at check in, right?

Thanks for helping fill my clue bag.
