If you are coming back in to sit in a management position, then you should know that none of this applies. If you’re coming back as a line guy, don’t expect to get more than one or two strings of three days in a row off while on reserve. FOs have SOME success, maybe one in ten from what I hear, moving or dropping reserve days. As a captain expect the standard “denied due to staffing” response in less time than it took you to get the RF 100 form to properly send.
