Sounds like LAX is the junior base and I live in ID.

Reserve shouldn't be too long, but there are 5 RAP periods. I think they usually assign RAP 1 and 3. 1 starts at 4am I think and 3 starts at 10am. Not sure exactly. 2hr call out, and you're released at 6pm on your last day regardless of RAP.

How are the chances getting an interview without having a degree?

Do all pilots, regardless of base, tend to see the whole route network? Does the company route you through all bases during trips, or do you just tend to do out and backs from your own base? For instance, will a west coast based pilot ever see the east coast and vice versa?

I even saw a trip that had YVR-MSP-YUL one of the days. Regional huh?

I don't know about the LAX or DTW crews, but on reserve out of MSP I've seen both coasts in the same trip fairly frequently, been through all three bases once or twice during a month since April and regularly hit what seems like half of Canada and most of Texas, again in a single trip.
Next month, with a line, overnights are HLN (twice), EWR (twice), ALB, PVD, IAH, and YUL. I go through DTW at least once, CLT, BOI, MDW, FAR and YEG. I wind up going through MSP a couple of times, but there's a fair number of trips that leave base and don't come back until you're done.
There were a bunch of MSP-based trips next month that include a YVR-MSP-EWR day. Ouch.
It certainly isn't classic "regional" flying, doing 6 legs a day into the same hub. I love it, but that's just me.
