On reserve you'll be on call for a minimum of 2 days in a row up to a maximum of 6 days before getting some days off. Reserves get 11 days off a month, period, no more, no less.

The EJET only flies for United in IAH, along with 20 CRJ 700s based in IAD. All the CRJ900s are on the American side in DFW and PHX.

I think you're getting confused on terminology. In our world a trip is a 1-4 day stint of flying (those who live in base go for the 1-day trips for obvious reasons). How many legs/flights you fly in each day varies. On the EJET you fly 2-4 legs a day. The 4 leg days usually involve shorter flights and usually occur on either the first day of the trip or the last day.

Here's an example for a junior reserve FO on the EJET in May:

1-3 Reserve
4-5 Off
6-10 Reserve
11-12 Off
13-15 Reserve
16-20 Off
21-24 Reserve
25-26 Off
27-31 Reserve
