That has been my experience as well. If you are senior enough to get a reserve line that doesn't touch a weekend at all (very few of them, at least in LAS), you will probably fly more for the simple reason that there are FEWER of you on reserve. I remember consistently being the ONLY eligible pilot on the DRO every time I looked.
