Try ATR Reserve at ASA. You'll average like 7 hours a month. I flew less than that one month. I haven't flown once so far this month. I bet someone money that I won't fly a single trip all of Feb. So far I win. I went a 3 week stretch without flying once, only to be broken by a single nap/"highspeed".
30-50 hours a month sounds like a bunch to me. I have recurrent coming up in about a month and a half. I'm hand-flying the 1 or 2 flights I'll end up doing between now and then to prepare.
