Why do either? Chasing upgrades often ends very badly.

Aren't there 4 year FOs on reserve at Envoy right now? How long is reserve at XJT? Skywest?

2 Year reserve is certainly probable for a DEC right now, but again, what is the better option? Some might feel that turbine PIC is what is needed to push them over the top for whatever job they are trying to get, others might really need the money due to who knows what.

It's not for everyone but it may work for some. I don't see that it's any worse than being an FO on reserve elsewhere.

Envoy: Yes and some Captains too.
XJT/Skywest: I don't have that info.

It's 2 year reserve if you were hired 2 years ago. If hired today that may change. Just like Envoy has 4 year reserve and 16 year flow, if you were hired 4 or 16 years ago. Both will change of that I have absolutely no doubt.

Absolutely. It's a personal choice and each individual has to find what will be right for them and their families. As far as the next job, marketing and networking will have more of an effect on that transition then anything else. I personally know of about 20 FO that have been hired by major airline (Delta, UPS, American, etc.) with 0 121PIC. I personally don't think 121 PIC gives a canadet as much of an advantage as it used too.

Each individual will have to make their own judgement call on that.
