While I agree you are home often on A320 reserve (I fly about an average of 4 days a month), your line is constructed each month with 18 reserve days. So your award is either 12 or 13 days off each month. After adjustment windows close, you are (typically) awarded 2 Pre-release days (PRLs). So you end up with 14 or 15 days off depending on if it's a 30 or 31 day bid period.
Still a great deal, just not 17 scheduled days off. At least not for JFK.
