TRV seems like they will work the least compared to the other two. Again, anecdotally, it seems like TRV folks will work the least.
9 SC in IAH 737 today, and 7 are assigned to TRV. The other two are VEC. There were 15 (!) on the 6th, and 10 were TRV.
So, you may not fly as much, but you’re going to get hit with the crazy amount of short calls that get built every day.
