What I can tell you is that line/composite guarantee is 70 PCH and reserve is 72. Reserves don't fly much here. It's usually pretty easy to pick up or drop trips as a line holder. YMMV. As a side note, our PBS system is a joke. It's an in house program with a terrible GUI and no accountability. May as well throw a dart at the wall. Allegedly we are getting a new system which always seems to be right around the corner according to the union.
Correction. Reserves don't fly much here unless you're MD80 Sanford. LAS reserves fly a good amount too. But in SFB you'll wish you were dead by the end of the month

Reserve at this company blows worse than other airlines. But it doesn't last long. Line holder here is a dream job.

At other airlines a call usually means to pack for at least 4 days. I would sit permanent reserve forever here if there wasn't more money to be made flying a line.
