You cannot bid for open time while on a reserve schedule. What you get rarely ever appears on open time. During the last year, my low month has been 4hrs, high 50hrs. 1.5hr callout, or you can get ready reserve which for AM is 525am to 125pm - you must be at the airport. Sometimes you get a RR several times a month, sometimes never.
