Reserve currently is 2.5 years for 145 Dfw and 2.5 months for the 175.
As far as utilization goes the end and the beginning of months we will zero out on reserves usually. The middle of the month is a bit slower. Ready reserve sucks. It it's the place you want to be if you don't want a four day trip. Some days they don't call and the next day they call right away.
