So did commuting to sit reserve completely suck or did it just suck a little bit?

My best guess is that IAD and EWR will be very junior..... IAH will always be senior.

I commuted for about four months before packing it in and moving into the base... best decision I have made thus far here at CJC. Then again trying to get a three leg commute to work was a nightmare even under the best circumstances.
Oh and I was a line holder from day one..... so commuting for reserve would really suck.

Commuting for Reserve sucked...kind of. I was staying in a rockin party animal crashpad with a very high female to male ratio. I kind of looked forward to going to work to hang out in the pad. At times it was like a frat house. Sometimes it was like being at the gates of the land of earthly delights. Hot grill, cards, booze, girls, girls, girls...


what was I talking about?

Girls would be great, but the rest of that would just annoy me...

Winglets....Im not sure if you work for Colgan or not but you sure do complain abou them alot. If you do, you must be an 08 hire that sits reserve alot. Can you confirm this??

Sounds great but how could you partake in the booze if you were on reserve?

I think the only thing worse than commuting to reserve is being furloughed, and I'm not even sure about that one!
