Close, but not exact. Every reserve line is 12 days off, with at least two 48 hour blocks off (2 day), one 72 hour block (3 day), and one 120 hour (5 day) block free of duty.
After reserve lines are awarded, a pilot can attempt to move reserve periods and days off around, subject to reserve coverage. That’s been pretty low lately, but about to swing the other way for a little while.
Reserve can’t trade with other pilots, you’re just trading with yourself.
As has been mentioned many times on this thread, reserve here ain’t great.

Every bid you will get two 2 day off blocks, one 3 day off block, and one 4 day off block.
