I'm CR7 in ATL. Reserve life is not bad, would be better if I lived in ATL. I generally don't get used on 20% of the days I have reserve, but when I do get used it's a 3 or 4 day trip.

Flying around 50 hours a month, getting credit for around 74:59.

No steady schedule. You really can't count on certain days off. I can't plan on it, but usually if I have a stretch of 5 or 6 reserve days I will not get used on day 1. In fact, I have never been used on day one. If I lived in ATL it would be like having an extra day off.
