Like everyone says, you will get abuse on reserve. I did a high speed last night and was suppose to do one tonight but they pulled me of that to do a reduce rest turn. and some how it turned into a 3 day trip. My schedule has been changed about 5 times today.

have most of those fo's been here 6 months or less?? cause if they are you should have slapped them and reminded them how long people used to sit reserve when we did paper bids.

and yes you will get abused on reserve. your schedule could change 100 times and it still be legal. we all had to go through it but once you have passed it you are done with it. i haven't had my schedule drastically changed in nearly 2 years now. once i was off reserve my qol shot through the roof. even when i only had 10 days off, just knowing that they couldn't just change my schedule when they wanted or keep me on a never ending trip made me happy.
