I have been sitting reserve for almost a year now...WAIT, it is by choice I can actually sit at home since our reserve domicile is MCI. I have 90 minutes to get to the airport if I am quick called. However I have only been quick called 1 time since I have worked for this company. I have some months where I still get my check but was able to just hang out for 20 - 25 days of a 28 day bid. However, the past few bids have been rough and I only sat 2 days in the last 28 day bid. Probably due to timing out of other pilots and vacations in the holidays. If you have other things you like to do reserve can be nice. 95% of our reserve CA's can hold a line but choose not too for QOL. FO's are different...they just want to work...That just confuses me
