On the 80 it depends on the month. (March, late Nov, Dec a lot of open time. August, Sept basically none. ) I don't think they have assigned aircraft yet. They usually wait till the end of indoc which is 3 weeks.
To clarify, credit above 81 for 130% does not include the 70 hours for a straight reserve line. If you get a straight reserve line and pick up 20 hours on your days off, you don't get any premium pay unless your total
flight time exceeds 81 hours.
