LUS pilots, how was it?

I usually bid long call reserve, but bid a line in Oct & Nov. just curious how it went, before (if) I start bidding reserve again...

Did you get used about the same?
Any ACARs notifications for assignment?
Get used twice in 5 & 6 day buckets?
Get used out of base?
Could you tell where you were in the queue?
For long call...could you tell in advance you were going to be assigned a trip?
Any luck proffering for trips?
Get flown into your day off?
Get days off moved?
For long call...assigned outside of DOCT? Or mostly in it?
