Ok, so essentially reserves can be used between 85-95 to 100 hrs at DAL. At AAL, once you get over 79.45, they cannot use you anymore on reserve (you'll be over 85 since it's 5.15 per day). This is NOT a bad thing. When it comes to PM and OG, you can do that in your off days and yes, it is added to your min guarantee. You can also pick up OG and PM and work it into your reserve days, which a standard tactic for people that can do it. My preference is to pick up late departure 2-day on premium the night before I go on long-call. Every so often, it works out. I haven't had any issues crediting 100-120 hrs per month, usually only work 65-85 hrs and still able to stay in the 14-18 days off range. So, we have things here that are wins on reserve right now. Is it perfect? No, but it never will be because the majority of people don't care about reserve. I'm always asked, "You bid reserve on purpose?!". "Yep!". Why would I not? I can't get what I want in PBS as a line-holder, you can't drop, TTS sucks and I'd have to work way more to get the same amount of credit anyway.
