About 4 1/2 four day trips per month was my experience at PSA. Gone about 14 nights per month, with the understanding that a fair number of your trips will end after your kids are in bed, so expect 12-14 nights per month that you get to see them.

SkyWest is generally 11-14 days off per month on the CRJ and very heavily weighted to 3 and 4 day trips. 90 hours at a minimum unless very senior. Supposedly we might see some QoL improvements in this upcoming agreement, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Still, if you are still 3 months out, you might check back.

Sitting reserve at home isn’t bad. Most of the reserve complaints are about sitting 8 hours of ready reserve but we are hoping that’s something they fix on this upcoming agreement.
