What made commuting to reserve so intolerable for me, was our outstation basing. I was in CMH for much of it. Trips start early in the morning and finish close to midnight. Often I had a 6 day stretch of RSV where I had to fly in the night before and fly out the day after. A 6 day on, 1 day off, 6 day on with no commutability is the absolute worste.
They also seem to load up the first few days of reserve and keep you sitting the last day or two. Usually your RSV sequence is adjusted to a later time for proper rest, so you can't get home the last night. I can only think of a few times CS released me from RSV early. We are never properly staffed to afford that.
RSV wouldn't be so bad here if we had hub basing and proper staffing. Alas...

My thoughts exactly. Most of them will do anything to stay flying. Declare bankruptcy, work under the worst contracts with deplorable pay and rules, and consider it part of the process of "paying dues." All in hopes of reacing a glorius career at a mainline, which quite possibly could not happen.

Really? Just tell that to those Denver guys. I am sure they would love to hear your keen insight into the dynamics of the regional airline base structure.
