For the bid that started this past Sunday, of the bottom 6 A300 FOs, five got short block (two to four days of RSV duty every week) Reserve A (midnight-noon duty), and one got a VTOR line ("build-up" line that can also have reserve duty, you can trade reserve days on a VTOR line for trips).

9-11 off the bottom got Base Trip Lines, which consist of a mix of shorter trips that could be turns up to trips of 110hr TAFB. BTLs are tough for commuters due to multiple reports, but living in domicile, you end up home a bit more (hence the name "Base Trip Line"). I never really minded BTLs, lots of variety and its easier to trade shorter trips.
