Yeah, 737 FO that bids reserve 90% of the time. I worked in June and July, but outside of that it's been a cakewalk, even in the shoulder season close to summer. Looking back, I blocked 4 hours on reserve in May, 7 in August, and I'm sitting at 4 so far this month. Total of 2 nights on the road during those 2.5 months. Dead of winter was even better, if you can believe it. I've been on property less than two years, so I can't say if this is sustainable long-term or some sort of staffing anomaly, but PBS says I've blocked about 230 hours over the past 365 days (with maybe 10-12 days of reserve dropped for mil leave in that time). I'm continually surprised more people don't do what I'm doing.
