People bid it to avoid weekly 4-5 day trips and/or to get specific days off. They don’t bid it because “it’s a good deal”

Times have changed since covid I no longer bid it. Too much working. Although with the direction trip trading has gone in I've started to consider it again.
All that said RAS being implemented will destroy reserve and it will just go to the bottom of every status.

Just curious how does that work. At UAL when on reserve we don't get diddly-squat until we break min guarantee of 73 hours. Can guys on reserve pick up on days off for premium pay or how does it work?

No requirement to work any normal reserve assignments to get the added pay.
