In that case, I pity the poor Ameristar pilots.

Reserve at Pinnacle isn't bad at all when you live in base. I'm spending so much time at home, maybe too much time at home.

But commuters? They have my sympathies....

Can someone post PCL RSV captain schedule?

I have a few friends who might be interested.

It's typically 5 on, 2-3 off. Only 10 days off per month. Pure hell.

That does sound crappy... how much flight time do they get on reserve?

as much as you want and then some. I'd say they are flying at least 80 hours a month.

They fly them quite a bit. It's not unheard of to break guarantee pretty regularly. Too bad that the pay isn't good enough to make it worth it.

As a F/O on reserve, I'm only doing about 50-52 hrs per month.

Like I said, too much time at home. Reserves will only get 10 days off per month. But honestly, I think I will be home MORE often on reserve than I will once I get a line schedule. The reason is simple. On airport reserve, if I don't get a call, I simply go home. For home reserve, I'm home anyway (until I get called out).

Once I get a line schedule, I will actually be gone *for sure* away from home for 2,3,4 day trips.

So the way it looks, I'll be home a lot more on reserve than as a junior line holder.

Moral of story? It pays to live in base.

Thanks for the replies... one last thing, is there a training note for off-the-street captains?
