190 reserve a year ago I averaged maybe 30-40 hours per month. Several times I didn't touch an airplane for a month at a time.

Who's been on reserve for most of the year on the bus, curious to see the total block year to date.

All I know is being junior in your seat this past summer was brutal. The toughest I've had in 7 years.

The 4 leg day trips on the 190 can be miserable after doing several of them in a row, but that's the cost of being home almost every night if you live in base. I'm debating on whether to go to the Airbus when my lock is up in one year...easier flying, but home much much less.
