But that was all pre-Covid. I’m currently hanging out around 50% DCA 737 FO and just happy if I can pick up straight open time.

I know a A320 FO in ORD that has bid reserve since the pandemic started. He does not actively try to dodge trips or assignments (except Field Standby).... He has flown 1 trip, (a two-day), with 2 legs since the beginning of the pandemic. His total block is 8 hours in the last 13 months. Crew Companion used to have 4 ish pages in ORD for open time and trades. There were like 4 total TRADES showing this month. It probably depends on your base what you can get for flying. They have plenty of extra reserves in that category anyway.
