But the plug doesn't have to bother bidding at all!
Sort of a joke, the plug should bid in case somebody else forgets to, usually a couple three will do that in any given month in a big base.

So a quarter of the list. I think last time I did the math for the other big 3 the next 10 was 45-55% of their lists. Downside is our pilot group is on the younger side. So once this 25-30% retires it’ll be very slow movement. We aren’t gonna grow much if at all. Probably the other direction.

Reserve doesn’t bid any differently than line holders. The company will publish “open flying” lines (uncovered lines after line bidding finishes) and the reserve lines at the same time. Look for the reserve line that suits your time slot/days off and then bid accordingly.
You are able to swap reserve days around to create a block of more days off, depending on reserve coverage. It’s been a little while since I’ve been on reserve, but I usually had limited success with swapping my days. Not sure how it is currently.
Not sure what you meant with your other question? Flexible in what way?
The latest reserve schedules, in SEA, show 55 choices of reserve lines, 11 of those being long call lines. Each one has different days off/on combinations with the most of each being 5 days in a row. Each one also has a period of only 2 days off in a row.
Hope this information helps. Welcome aboard!

Looks like the Junior 737 Lineholder was a January 2018 hire. There are also Open flying lines which are made up of leftover pairings, Most junior pilot awarded an Open flying line was a Feb 2022 hire.
