Is it possible to bid for open time trips on your reserve days? I've heard it called proffering for something like that. Can you pick up trips out of base? Like if I live in DFW but still commuting to LGA for my first year or so, can I pick a DFW turn on my off days? Does anyone that lives in base purposely bid reserve? In a way, if I got DFW eventually sitting reserve for a long time. Born and raised here and would like to stay.

No you can't just pick up out of base on reserve. Which is a bummer.
I live in base now I'll be in reserve not by choice but I might bid reserve on purpose if I were more senior and bid to pass all, that being said in my experience on reserve I have flown a decent amount so I wouldn't count on a whole lot of extra time off.

You’ll most likely be able to hold DFW in under a year. History says 737 will get you there slightly faster.

Not their fault but it still happened....I got my "free" month off without even having to try and IMAX is all I am saying. I got 2 kids, 7 and 9, who are busy as hell, maybe you do too, but I can't go fishing for 100hrs+ every month with their schedules...maybe I am doing it wrong but it works for me.
