The great thing about the Reserves is even if you don't like it, it's only a couple days a month.
In an ideal world where I eventually get picked up as an FO for a regional, would it be feasible? I know that it's only 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks per year, but I understand that schedules for regionals (especially junior guys) can be quite demanding. I'm interested to hear from any regional pilots that made this work.
