Every reserve assignment I've had, I've had much more than three hours notice. Except once they called and asked if I could get to the airport in an hour. After I told them no they told me "nevermind, we'll find someone else".

In my opinion, if you live in base, reserve life is pretty chill. You don't fly much typically, outside of summer months at least. Lack of flexibility(being able to drop) and opportunities for premium pay are the drawbacks. Some abilities to break guarantee but not a lot.

I know these pay rates are different than the chart, is this a pay increase over a few years to get these numbers? What’s the increase per year? Thanks.

I’m looking forward to joining. I just had a question about pay. Realistically what would be the MAX and MIN to expect for a paycheck monthly for a senior FO 2-2.5 years in? Can you realistically make 200k +? As a CA what would be the MIN and MAX?
