Can be 'on' for up to six days with two days off in between each stretch. The wife and I have chosen to live in base 1. to maintain some semblance (sp) of a marraige, and 2. to minimize exposure to scheduling shenanigans. Still get the occasional pairing where the company tries to sidestep the contract. ie giving you an assignment that begins outside your reserve period (happened twice in three yrs here.)
No Junior Manning and Management says "they don't need it".., we'll see when the new TA comes out.
As has been mentioned before, F/O attrition has been pretty bad (moving on and up, or moving out) so we are hurting. I get an OT call AT LEAST twice a week. Just not interested, my off time with my wife is worth far more than 35bucks and change an hr.
Over all, for a company that is still essentially run with a regional management mindset, Great folks to fly with though! Hope that helps.

Thanks! Did I see somewhere that the current contract (should management decide to follow it) has reserves staying out no longer than 4 consecutive days? Something about you have to come back to base on day four? So maybe a four day, a night home and then a two day? Or am I dreaming?
