As for sitting idle take a look at SEA 320 for February. Half the dang base is on reserve and block hours are more than doubling from Feb to March because Hawaii is coming back.
As a serial reserve bidder, no complaints here at all

I don't understand how that's possible. There's got to be more to it because I've definitely flown BOS-SAN and landed with enough fuel to make it halfway back to BOS.
