What's reserve like if you live in base, and don't commute? Is it all home reserve? And what's the callout?

-ready reserve you have 15 minutes to return call, and "you're supposed to be at the airport"

Boy these Skywest guys are trollin hard on the mesa page.
Who would a thought they'd be scouring the regional pages spreading the good word outta Utah. Skywest is a regional chock full with 50 seat jets, brasilias, ASA/Expressjet, lengthy upgrades, regional lifers and beleibers. Skywest guys used to never even bother on this forum but now these guys are everywhere trollin hard. What gives?

Reserve has 3 shifts. RS1=4am to 4pm, RS3=Noon to midnight, and RS4 7pm to 7am. RS4 goes junior and only awarded to one maybe two guys a month, so forget it until you are really senior.
As for RS1 and RS3, be prepared to sit Ready Reserve every day at the airport for 8 hours if you are not flying. It gets pretty old very quick.

where do you live? Upgrade at PSA will drop below 2 years in a couple months hiring 50+ a month, and a better contract than Mesa

Yeah. Here or Compass probably. Considering you already have all that 121 time, you might upgrade in less than a year if they really start needing Captains (since others won't have the 1000 SIC time yet). That's partly speculation, but barring any sort of 9/11 event it should be quick regardless.
Edit: Or as cartean said, maybe PSA, but I'm less familiar with their operation.

I live in XNA, and the bases for Mesa's ERJ work for me. I skimmed thru some stuff on PSA on this forum, but its hard to get to the facts when everyone is out bashing each other. I try to make important decisions based on facts, not conjecture and some online troll's opinion. Thanks for the help guys. So far Im hearing that Mesa will need 1000 pilots over the next 12 months to staff the remaining ERJs to come online. The mock bid went to Seniority #705 for CA upgrade, I think I would be around 850 or so... Inputs gladly welcomed.

I never have to do Ready as I bid CML and I'm the most senior guy.
Also where are people award RS4? I have never seen that awarded or offered in the ORD or IAD bases.
