Any legacies/LCC that are fat on reserves?
Sick and tired of the regional life! Our carrier hasn't had a decent amount of reserves in over two years, and that coupled with minimum days off gets really old. I'd love to find a place to go where I can easily get rid of a trip if I desire to. I assume there are at least some out there?

United for awhile was running fat on RSV’s in many fleets. Now with Kirby coming in and tweaking the operation, it seems like we are going to transition into a more leaner operation that will survive primarily by loading up the feeding trough for the premium pay piggies to keep the operation running.
That’s atleast how I’ve interpreted the future staffing plans. Very well could be wrong. In the meantime, I’ve been able to drop several 2 days, an occasional 4 day or at least trade a 4 day for a 2 day.

United has been pretty amazing as far as qol goes. Living in base helps and understanding our trading system is a must but I have been able to manipulate my schedule to my liking flying the trips I actually enjoy. I was about ready to give up on this career after almost a decade of what you speak of. It gets better!
