Per diem for a 4 day trip should be around $145 bucks. Run 6 of those in a month and you have another Grand or so in your paycheck.

yes, you can sit on reserve and 'make' your 72 hours..
But you can't put them in your logbook and that is where you won't have it when it's time for an upgrade or Major move.
I'd rather break my back and take home 120+ credits for 96 hours flown!
You can always 'force' a 45 day paid vacation at the end of the year if you can blow 1,000 soon enough.

You don't get paid to sit in reserve in the real world.
