A few lines have reserve days to begin the month, about a week off, then the balance of the line, and the remaining GDOs at the end of the month.

Line values range from a high of 51:05 to a low of 20:03, with a median and mean near 40.

The schedules call for a show time around 8pm, about four hours of flight into the hub and back to an outstation or two, about eight to ten hours of sitting in the hub or outstations, and a release into ten or twelve hours of rest just as the world is getting up and starting their day. Do that for four or five days, sit reserve in CVG for two or three, fly a similar schedule for a few more days, then sit reserve for about a week, have your days off, then come back for some more reserve at the end of the month.
