Personally, I've been on property for a year, been on the line for oh, say seven months, and depending on where crew scheduling puts reserve levels at, the best I've managed is a built up line to 65 hrs in April and a high speed line back in February. At this point in time, you need about 15-20% below you before you can start taking advantage of pre-builts (high speeds) and built-up lines. That being said, it looks like they raised reserve levels pretty good this month, so I'm back on reserve and I'm bidding about 82% right now out of MSP. Ah what the hell....In the spirit of prognostication, I'd say 4-6 months of reserve if you finished IOE today, depending on how you choose to bid. Hope that helps. Good luck guys!!
