Whats a typical reserve schedule look like? How many on / how many off? Then once holding a line is it hard to bid/receive 4 days or more off in a row? Being a commuter just trying to figure out what reality is.
Reserve schedule is 11 or 12 days off depending on the month (30 or 31 day bid month). You probably will spend only a short time on reserve if you are SEA based, a bit longer in LAX and even longer in PHX although they don't have airport reserve so it's a little nicer. Unless you waive it you are guaranteed a block of 4 days off. When I did reserve days, I would try to bid for 6 day reserve blocks.
No ifs ands or buts about it, commuting to reserve sucks and that's true for pretty much all of the regionals.
