I average 2-3 trips per month. Mostly island red eye turns, or a 3day with redeye to the west coast, 24hr layover, redeye back. Once in a while you score a sweet 2 day trip somewhere nice like AUA/SFO, daytime flying, with a 24hr layover. 4-day trips on reserve are pretty rare, since they are desirable for commuters and generally more productive.

Youll be on reserve on the 320 BOS for a long time. I'm at about 1.5yrs and still a few spots from holding a line. If I was awarded the E190 BOS then I would be almost 50% seniority in base.

But, if you live fairly close to BOS and just want to spend time at home then 320 reserve is the way to go.
