no ego here
...as a new hire on reserve, expect to get the scraps, that will most likely be airport standby - 0600-1400 or 1400 - 2200.
things constantly change and it's difficult to pin down what kind of schedule you will have on reserve.
there will be times that you will be called for a turn, a two day trip or more but when you return to base, you will be extended for the days you are available on reserve. It's not uncommon but the dynamic constantly changes depending on line holder availability. ie: misconnections, crew sick, late arrival or broken ac at an outstation.
picking up OT on your days off will be difficult since you will be most likely be on reserve for six days straight.

My concern is regarding commuting with Envoy. Time on reserve aside, when I have enough seniority to hold a line, how easy/difficult is it to trade in order to build a somewhat commuter friendly schedule? I keep reading about these 4 & 2 schedules and it makes me very leery. Could someone shed some more light on this?
The problem with our trip trade system is that it is governed by a green/red/redder staffing level. The trip trade will only be approved if you are trying to trade for a trip that is on days with equal or worse staffing. In addition, you can only trade four day trips for other four day trips. I'll tell you right now that trip drops won't be approved because of staffing.

Don't mean to hi-jack the epic battle of ego's going on in here, but regarding schedule, regardless of base, is the schedule that bad? I'm a single dude and i'm looking to fly a lot. I've got an interview in 2 weeks (assuming it goes well) and i'm trying to get a grasp on things, but it seems like 95% of people are ready to revolt on here. I'm all for not getting abused, but it's tough to figure it out with all the constant back and forth on here.

If we want to retain pilots and not have to hire/train pilots, we need to stop spinning our wheels with stupid things like "not following the contract".
