The rates just started. Do the math. They have contracts with majors. They will pass that cost on when they are renewed. Every major has said they are shrinking their regional feed drastically. In a few years there will be half as many regional flights so to this and pilot shortage. Long term doesn't look good for any regional.

On reserve you're always going to get the same amount of days off 12/13. You get one stretch of 6 days off a month. I live in base and even when I picked up I've never been used more than 13 days worth of trips in a month. I haven't been to the airport for work in over a month, sometimes people get lucky.

As a long time RJ guy, I get why some folks want to stay at their regional. But if a young person says they’ll be better off at their regional than at a mainline carrier…we’ll just look at Expressjet/ASA…they were long standing regional’s that - well went out of business with 55-60 year old pilots that “couldn’t afford to leave”.
I left a RJ company that I was senior at and lived in base…But once that company had no flying contract after a said date…I knew I had to make a change.
Your career will never be secure at an RJ company!
Even if the pay (right now seems to be better - the reality IS THAT IT WON’T BE LONG)
You are way better off at a Mainline Company…regardless of what the short term outlook seems.

the junior people have been getting 777 SFO because it’s the only thing left. If you don’t get it in indoc. You can get it the next vacancy. And, no, you won’t get all 12 days in a row

In May, June and July I worked nearly every day of every RAP and got rolled into a RDO once. The rest of the months, two maybe three trips but I'll APU short calls to send myself back down to the bottom of the silo.
As far as hard days off you'll get 12 or 13 depending in the month but with unused days of reserve maybe 16-17

Thanks a lot JetDoc,
So as a commuter i guess it can be a bit of an issue?
Also are you able to get 10 + days off in a row.
Cheers,
Just trying to make an informed decision.

Commuting to reserve on any fleet is no bueno. Getting 10 days off in a row on reserve is not possible unless you are GUM 737.

I'm only talking wages because that's what the OP was concerned about - a drop in personal cash flow.
