Only about 20 minutes in Indio so will be great. Hopefully I can apply sometime next year.
Brasilia looks like an awesome airplane, also reserve must be very short in PSP if it's so junior than.
Thanks guys.

If you're 20 min away you'll be in heaven on reserve at PSP. I just transferred to FAT for more flying and a line, but reserves hardly fly at PSP. I was there for 4 months, and it probably would have been another couple for a composite line.

When I got a line month 7 I almost called in fatigued on my first trip. I had never flown a 4 day trip before and hadn't flown 20 hours in a week in 6 months.

I'm not sure FAT will be any better unless you're sure you can hold a line. In 6 months on reserve in FAT I flew 90 hours total including one month with 2 hours block followed the next month by zero block. 90% of that time I was on call first and a pretty senior reserve too.

I also never got a single early release request approved despite the fact that I once pointed out on the phone that I hadn't flown in my last 20 days on reserve and also wasn't the next in line to be called. I felt like granting my request would have been a pretty safe gamble.
