Dude if you live in base as reserve here and are ok with the short leash of a 2.5 hour call out you will credit 125-135 plus hours a month if you stack your days off and pick up open time on those days. Easily. Bid a 6 on 1 off reserve schedule that gets you 10 or so consecutive days off and then pick up 2 juicy 4 days. Enjoy not being used on 1/2 to 2/3 of your actual reserve days and the paycheck.
Edit: guys who live in base here have routinely been able to credit in the mid to high 100s. More if you can bid with check airman.
