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.

Thanks for sharing. Did RAP in base let you maximize your opportunities to get tagged with an actual flight?

Any ORD 145 or 175 FOs able to talk about their flying hours in base on reserve and/or with a line?
