I'm not sure what you mine by reserve 'lines.' By definition, people on reserve really don't HAVE lines. They have availability times on their assigned days - depending on RAP - and days off.

Under normal circumstances (see Compass before the hiring freeze or Horizon before they got short on pilots and then got even more fouled up by the E-175 transition) they were called up for flights as needed. I guess it's still that way, it's just that they are continuously needed at present at Compass because they are short of FOs now.

Could be worse. A whole bunch of junior E-175 FOs here at Horizon are just sitting, not a good thing when you just got your type rating and are not going to get your consolidation time in the first four months. Looks like newbie Compass hires will get that in their first six weeks out of LOE.
