The flying is EXCEPTIONALLY straight-forward and easy. No filing, no receipts to keep up with, no arranging for after-hours FBO call-outs, no rental cars, no veiled threats about carrying write-ups, NO BULL****.

Be careful man you may already know but it’s going to be a long, long time before you will have a line here and get a good QOL. However, that can change if reserve rules improve and we get some sort of long call for DECs. My guess is that if it ever happens it will go to the senior guys on rsv. Again screwing over the DECs.
Right now it’s endless rsv and minimum days off a month is 11. Which turns into 8-9 if you commute. Some days I wanna quit others I’m happy I’m employeed. This can all change if you live in base.
Good luck

You have to keep in mind that every FO hired before you got here is a potential issue. If you are OK with that and the money makes it worth it, do it. If you live in base you are golden.
As for time on rev, I would put it 1.5-2 years, as that is the average upgrade time for FO's that were hired in the late 2016 early 2017 hiring spree. Once they are out of your way you can start to get off RSV, however you may not want to if you live in base.

Incentives such as unlimited commuter hotels in NYC helped staffing levels tremendously. But If your a DEC and on live in base Rsv for 1.5yrs can be a walk in the park,. Now we all know majority of crews choose to commute to certain bases due to high costs of living, rent/housing prices, and taxes. So Rsv life is something heavy to many because of our industry lagging rules.
