first month flying (May) was 30 hours or so due to ioe.
next 4 months of reserve were spending 20-35 hours a month flying.
I flew every chance i could and i picked up as much open time as i could. but my reserve schedule had most weekends off so there may have been more flying if i bid reserve on weekdays.
line holder as of October. last month i flew like 85 hours. this month's schedule is worth about as much for me too. I trip trade to get lots of hours when possible.
you will probably have a completely different experience though as things tend to shift around.
Being on reserve is great though if you live in base and get rap every day which i did almost exclusively.
