PreCovid WB FO reserve was amazing. I've shared my 202 day record of not being used several times on this forum and I hope someone can beat it!
Post Covid NB Captain reserve on DCA 320 has been palatable thus far. Last month, I worked one 3-day trip and one 2-day trip, had 5 unused SCs/FSBs (3/2). I hate FSBs, but until the contract changes it, I'll just suck it up and go hang out at the airport in sweats and a hoodie.

Agreed...so much of it depends on where you live and your BES. I've commuted to reserve and hated it with every fiber of my being.

For those that have been NB FO reserve and NB CA reserve, is there a noticeable difference between the two? As far as how reserve is, and/or how scheduling treats you?
Other than the difference in job responsibilities and managing/juggling everything that being a Junior CA has to go with it…

Interesting to see all the GUM TDYs just posted.
Paying them to be based there… and them paying them more to send them to hubs that are too expensive for anyone to want to be based.
It’ll be interesting to see if other hubs will eventually get additional pay to be based there.

Maybe reserve life is better on the Guppy. But regarding the Bus in EWR, there hasn't been much to pick up other than the LGA trips no one wants. The Bus does A LOT of LGA flying (around 40% of the trips). I don't volunteer for LGA trips, as getting there from PA is a Charley Foxtrot most of the time. So as far as "making my own line", that's not really feasible. And I can't remember the last time I broke guarantee on reserve. First world problems, I know.
