As a F/O I was able to use SAP to push my flying together. I was able to get an 8-10 consecutive day off stretch each month to travel. The rest of the month, I would schedule to fly 90-95 hours.
As a reserve captain now, I have a lot less flexibility over my schedule. Work 4 days and then 2 days off. Work 5 days and then 3 days off... 11 or 12 days off a month. Minus open time pickups.
Of the Days on reserve, I am on reserve, I get used 80% of the time. Mostly for airport standbys or turns. Occasionally, I will get assigned a full 3 or 4 day trip, but that is rare.
