Off 4 on 3 off. The most retarded schedules you could ever think of. It doesn’t get much better as a line holder.
The schedules are pathetic and the absolute worst part of Allegiant. Que all the “well your home every night” morons who justify this trash. I left
after 2 years. Oh and they announced a base in my hometown where I live. Ask me if I care.

I have to say it is pretty uncommon, but consistency does happen: I'm a junior FO in a fairly senior small base and for pretty much the entire month of December I have Tue-Wed off and Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon reserve.
Dec is one of the months with reduced number of days off for reserves.

Either way I wouldn’t wish commuting here to my worst enemy but outside of the randomness, reserve life is pretty good if you live in base (especially in a small base). Although my friends at UPS do credit 81 hours with 15 days off on their reserve lines.

There is a pretty good spread of randomness here. However, if you want to get blocks of days off, I was able to get a "Tue-Thur off, Fri-Mon on" schedule pretty early. I bid that over block hours etc... It worked out well.
Also, reserve is drastically different in larger vs smaller bases. Reserves in small bases work a couple of times a month. Sometimes a few times in a string of months. Reserves in larger bases work significantly more. With that said, I am in a larger base and the most I worked on a reserve month was six times (including reserve periods picked up on my days off).
YMMV
