Thanks, thinking about applying. I have 650 TT and building fast, and 40 multi and building about and hour every other week. Think they will want a jet bridge course?

What's so bad about being on reserve? Your still getting pretty much the same pay with less work, right? Just not building those flight hours as fast.

Big negative. Minimum guarantee of 75 hrs/mo (usually) as opposed to a line-holder crediting sometimes upwards of 100/mo. In addition, you're not making Per Diem. Finally - you're on call, never being able to work your personal schedule around work. It's a lose-lose-lose...unless your company is fat on pilots and you're sitting at home with the family comfortably.

Speaking of Reserve times, anyone have a current outlook of RSV time at each of the 3 bases?

Guess i'll be changing my mind from CLT to either DAY or TYS then.

Unless you are planning on moving to whatever domicile you are in then reserve is a miserable existence and the schedulers at PSA treat reserves like crap!
