As many as you like, as long as it’s legal under FAR 117. I have heard of them restricting guys to 95 hours so they can’t time out, though...
Keep in mind on reserve you’ll only get 11 days off a month, so it’s at your own peril. Line holders vary from 12-15 days off. You’re free to pick up trips as you please.
On reserve you can pick up open time on scheduled work days as long as it falls within the footprint of reserve days and starts or ends on the same day as your reserve block.
