I think the crap QOL is more upsetting when awesome QOL is available here and you share a crew room with guys who are enjoying it, but you rolled the dice and lost.
That said, in my mind all the problems here are present in one form or one degree or another at most regionals for most people.
Except not flying. That's kind of rare for a new hire FO in 2018. The year I've wasted commuting to reserve and never getting called could mean 10 years of lost seniority if it means I get hired (or flow) after the AA retirement/hiring wave instead of before/during. That's what upsets me most.

Expected increase in145 flying?
What’s led to this surplus of E145 FO’s? (Expected increase in 145 flying from AAG? If so, where/who is that 145 flying coming from or otherwise generated?)
Any chance ENY has fattened up on 145 FO’s in preparation to merge PDT (which I under to be very minimally-staffed) with ENY in the not too distant future?

Yes, in 6 months time we will merge with pdt, right after we open our lax base in 5 months time

Good reserve can be a viable choice for the senior pilots QOL wise, which would help the junior guys to hold a line, build time and move up or move on. Benefits the senior guys who want more time at home, junior guys who want to hold a line, midrange guys to hold better lines, company by allowing jr guys get time needed for upgrade faster.

Guys and Gals on the DFW 145 I’m flying with have been here almost a year and only have 150 hours total 121 time. At this pace they will upgrade by the time they flow to AA. Expect a lot of sitting on reserve RAP and standby but no flying as a FO in DFW.

Is there a reason you are in DFW and not ORD or LGA?
