What are the average number of hours that line holders are getting awarded by PBS for your position/domicile?

Back when we were really short handed 3 or so years ago, everyone was getting 95+hours a month from PBS and all of the reserves were crediting over a 100 every month. If they ran out of reserves, lineholders would just get reflowed. We had some domiciles that had more lines predicted for the month than they had pilots for - no reserve lines at all. Anything in open time up to six weeks out was paid at time and a half for a while (not the current 5 day window). Like I've said before, if we aren't cancelling flights because of it -management doesn't believe we're short staffed.
