Thanks for the replies.

Looks like you want as many over-nights as possible to up that per diem?

Is that money taxed as wages?

For the ERJ FOs on reserve: How many fight hours can you get while on reserve if you actively try? I'm not sure what that time period is called - the months of reserve right after IOE is what I mean.
(I'm talking sell-your-soul and want to get as many flights as possible while on reserve)

Thanks!
