It varies a lot - I'm on the ER in JFK: In April, I flew around 45 hours, and sat 6 SCs.

In the last two months, I flew 80 hours and got called for SC twice each month, but had a trip by the time I commuted to JFK.

Someone might of said it, but the international SC covers two days, 1200 on day 1 until 1200 on day two, so 6 SCs actually can cover 12 days of reserve days.

Oh, then they also tend to give (at least to me) a SC, day of long call, then another SC when things are slow.
