Something to think about as well: while they COULD fly reserves that much, the new FT/DT rules change the 1000 hours per calendar year to a rolling 12 month period. So, instead of timing out only being a problem in NOV and DEC, it would be a problem year round (every month).
Basically, the most they could ever consistently fly you (once the new rules are in place) is 83 hours. There could be heavy months (90+ hours) but there would have to be lighter months down the line to keep you legal.
Just commentary. Non-voter here, and this tidbit has nothing to do with the fact that I think the TA is unsatisfactory.
