Around a 100 total to bring on in Spring. SO....Minus total in Bank = number off street. Guess around 70 as mentioned on page 4 of this subject. Most likely into 727 SO due to recent posting of upgrades and those leaving the seat. How long in the Engineer seat is a huge guess but I doubt it will be the 4-5 years that the current engineers have endured. Ten R days is not common except for those who bid the South America 727 lines. Lately the ability to move R days is very flexible and 4-5 days is more common when on reserve. The ability to drop those R days is also available building up your make up bank that u can use to pick up trips in open time.
The dropping and moving of R-days is not always so easy. Since we've been so "overmanned" (uhhh, yeah) in my seat, I have not been able to drop or move ANY R day. I don't think I've had any luck since last summer, FWIW. Denied: Insufficient Reserves.

Cloud: In a nutshell:
19 days of reserve in a 5 week bid month. 16 days off.
15 R days in a 28 day month, 13 days off.
RSV = 24 hour notice, very few of those lines usually, I think contractually it is 10% of the R lines.
RA is on call basically 0130 to 1330, 1.5 hour callout. Some bases are 3.0 callout (ANC?)
RB is on call 1330 to 0130, 1.5 hour callout in Memhis.
There is also RA+ and RB+ which shifts the on call window 6 hours, but that isn't used too often as far as I have seen.

Notification window is midnight to noon for 0130-1330 showtimes. You are only obligated to answer until noon, thus 12-hour window any way you slice it.
