Then 2 hours before I got to leave, scheduling would call me with a trip or a deadhead to pick up a flight. I can only remember once or twice I actually did not fly when I was on airport reserve.

I flew a lot, because I wanted to. There are better start times to bid if you want to fly, and times to bid if you don't want to fly.

If it has changed, I would love to know. I am planning on applying to come back in Jan.

Are there any current reserve FO's lurking who still credit 100 hours on average? (Or is that not possible now)
My numbers came off of the L XJT side for last month. Most reserves are not breaking guarantee. Some are hitting 90 hours others are a lot less. It is not easy to pick up on days off due to the contract.
