Currently 787 in SFO and haven’t been assigned a trip since October. I do pick up anywhere from 5-8 SCs a month since I’m in base, but ever since November with some implementation of the new reserve stuff there’s been far less SCs each day, only about 3 per day now. That may pick up over summer but for the most part the reserves are usually so stacked that as long as you pick up one SC at the beginning of your silo you can put yourself low enough in FIFO to not get assigned any more than one or two days of SC. Very rarely see any SCs for those in 2 or 1 day Silos, and I think 3 total FSBs in my time here. YMMV but for the most part it’s the best deal at United by far.. as far as reserve goes!
