I'm on reserve, not by choice. Not on the 73/320/220/71. Here's my month thus far:
First day of LC (31 Jan) - converted to SC
1-2 Feb - 2 day trip assigned with 2230 return to base (no commute home)
3 Feb - assigned short call
4-6 Feb - 2 day trip assigned with 2105 return to base
7 Feb - assigned short call
I've done 3 short calls and its not even the middle of the month yet. I'm not alone in my BES. RAW doesn't mean squat when your BES is undermanned. Last month I was used every day I had availability. Again, not alone. Going to be a very interesting summer.

Sorry man, APC requires I say that. 
Good luck with the commute. I haven't been following along, do you still get PS? We need to make that permanent.

Easy-peasy. I understand if you don't like the uncertainty of when/if/where you might fly next but for me that's what make the job exciting now.
I commute - again, not by choice.
You'd love our DSS run. Redeye. Day layover. Redeye. Then get a short call after that starts at 3AM. Get called out for a trip with 10 hours and 2 minutes of rest which begins as a deadhead to LAX for 5+ hrs in main cabin then fly it back.
I could go on and on.
You have no idea how bad it is going out here.

Oh yes, once I get to NYC after I finish Bus training I’m completely expecting to be used and abused. At least I’ve got about 90 below me on that last award. Hoping to escape to DTW or ATL before I have to do too much NYC touring.
