320 FO in BOS - at over 1.5 years I can hold short and long call reserve and a line. 1-2 weekends off in the initial bid.

Good to know, thanks for the info. Having done reserve in the past at my current airline, I prefer to have a consistent number of days between work blocks over having every weekend off. Commuting and only being home for two days at a time, especially if it’s commuting the night before or morning after are absolute killers, and until I’m based where I live, it’s more important to be able to consistently have 3 off in a row as much as possible.
