we do a mix of west cost to Hawaii soon to go to the lax 756 domicile, a few UK trips from IAD soon to go to the iad 756 domicile. That will probably leave the iah 756 with some domestic hub to hub type flying and very occasionally some Hawaii or Europe trip via the east cost The plan for summer 2014 flying shows no intl flights for the 756 out of iah.
The 76t has been limited to a few 763 intl flights (lhr, lim, gru and eze) the december bid added to few domestic flights as well.

As far as how much reserves are used.. It depends..over the past 4 months my range was from low 80's hrs to nowhere near guarantee.
( 32 hrs so far for nov )

If you re looking for a good variety and intl flying, ewr is the place to go.

I wouldn t be surprised to see the bottom iah 76t fos come over to the 756 side because the bottom 76t fo would bid about 35% on the 756.
