What should one expect on the phone screen? Interview type stuff or just HR and verifying your resume?
Also can someone give me a week in the life? Do you fly 5-6 days a week every week or bid on flying? Is reserve long or short call? Do you get used a lot on reserve?

Reserve life seems to be different depending on which base you are in. It seems that the small bases use their reserves very little where the big bases use their reserves a lot. Also it seems the big bases use their reserves for rescue flights which include multiple days gone since the reserves stay with the broken airplane til it's fixed.

What is R5/6 R10/11? Would PIT be a "small" base where reserves aren't used? Also is there a base in RIC? Or is that just a destination?
Any input on the phone screen?

I went through the phone screening last month. It was a conference call with HR and a line captain. Basically, they asked me to grab a copy of my resume and asked questions about my previous positions- and about a lapse in my employment history. They wanted to know everything I knew about Allegiant, as well as "Why Allegiant and not Jet Blue". Overall, it was about 20 minutes long and left me with a positive feel for the company,

Interview is a lot like the phone screen but more getting to know you and your experiences then some HR TMAAT style questions that go with your resume/experience.
