Hmm.. I am based in ATL (have been for the last 5 years). Weekends and holidays off reserve is a totally different experience than weekends reserve. I haven't touched a plane in 3 weeks.
Those that cannot hold the weekends off have flown every sequence of days.
I had one landing in 53 days until recently. I do have weekends completely off and have so now for nearly 3 full years. but not Christmas. If you look there will be 70+ reserves sometimes on Monday and 29 required but on the weekends 30 required and 2 available and GS's going out unless you didn't have anything planned and wanted one - then no GS.
Really it's not just SA-SU but leading up to it. If your on 4 days and the last day is Saturday, you'll get a 4-day on Wednesday. Just touch a weekend and it seems you're flying. So for those who don't touch the weekends they'll end the month seemingly with a low raw score of 30, 40 or maybe 50. Meanwhile weekenders and partial weekenders seem to be over 100. But that's just a cursory observation and maybe not totally accurate all the time.
If it snows, all 70 will be used btw.
