Like someone mentioned, you can expect TRV off the bat. You might get lucky with a VEC or LCL depending on how senior folks bid above you… TRV is pretty much standard reserve…
VECs are going to see bulk of the SC heavy lifting and last minute flying assignments that pop up with TRVs falling in between with covering trips and SCs (but scattered throughout the month…
None of the specialized reserve lines are involuntary. So the great news is that you can sit on the sidelines as a TRV and see how VEC/LCL go or jump into the mix and experience each to formulate your own opinion on them… I suspect that VECs will start trending Senior with those who live in base and want to make extra money but don’t have the seniority to beat out top-senior folks for premium trips…
