I'm not sure FAT will be any better unless you're sure you can hold a line. In 6 months on reserve in FAT I flew 90 hours total including one month with 2 hours block followed the next month by zero block. 90% of that time I was on call first and a pretty senior reserve too.
When I got a line month 7 I almost called in fatigued on my first trip. I had never flown a 4 day trip before and hadn't flown 20 hours in a week in 6 months.
