Override Days:
You are scheduled for 18 days with a 64 hour guarantee. If the company uses you (meaning, either away from your home base or on short call reserve at home) on day 17 and 18 you earn an extra 3.56 hours above guarantee per day. So if you are gone ALL 18 days you get paid 71.12 hours for the month.
Schedules:
You pretty much bid days off. Schedules are built either 18 days in a row or in blocks of two with off days in the middle of the month. Some lines are split with 9 on and 6 off. Some lines have "known" flying put on them, most are just all reserve days. Plan to go to work for 18 days in a row. 36 if your lines for 2 months butt up to each other, but it's rare for that to occur unintentionally. Required rest periods are done wherever you are in your hotel.
TDYs:
Currently none. And they are now for only 60 days (was 90).

The info on the APC page says 16 days with two override. If the are schedules are prebuilt with 18 days, why not just say that. You can’t schedule your life around hoping to not get used or on the other hand plan a budget on being paid and used on the override days.

So if you bid for your days off what would a junior expect? Does one go senior vs the other or are they kinda even? How does reserve work for a new guy is it expected at the beginning or it could happen to anyone anytime?

I'm not trying to beat a dead horse or anything, but I'm a little confused. At regionals/legacies, being on reserve means you're sitting at home or in a crash pad with a 2-hour callout. But the last few posts seem to indicate that at Omni, you expect to be on the road for 18 days in a row... AND be sitting on reserve. So how does that work? Day 1 you fly somewhere, and then sit in a company-paid hotel, possibly for days waiting for them to need you again? Is it a 2-hour callout FROM the hotel..? Please elaborate for us who are only used to regionals/legacies.

Most lines start as reserve lines which have flying added to them about a week in advance. Without turning this into a technical discussion of al the possibilities expect to commercial somewhere on day 1 experience 14-16 days of a mix of flying and sitting in hotels (25/75 split) and commercial home on your last day.
