What good life? 87% reserve coverage in ORD means 0 flying for the last 2 months. A 4am call would be welcome right about now

Given that you're one of the most senior ERJ CA's at SKW, that's kind of an ironic comment...

I'll trade you that for my 90+ hour schedule this month. And last month, and next month...

Kinda like how commuters would love OBR vs paying for a crashpad. Something as simple as an OBR call first that would be a QOL improvement that just can't be done right now.

A couple months flying CRJ lines will leave you wanting the -175 back.

3 years on reserve, qualifies me to make that comment. For the record, I wouldn't wish that special slice of life on Jared Fogel.

Remember that longing, after your first 5 years of 90 hour months, you will look back at those 0 hour block months, like your first piece of trim.....
