Reserve periods
Probably on here in another post, but....How much variation is there in monthly reserve lines? I.e. Are they mostly 5 day reserve "blocks" or are there reserve lines with fewer consecutive reserve days that still meet min day off requirement? After post-OE initial schedule, does a new hire get to bid reserve lines with hard lines?

I know some do a two on one off sort of deal so they get fewer overnights, while commuters might try to consolidate work.

Getting home based is a hope to provide the flexibility I need when I start. Any issue with getting more than min 11 days off when holding a reserve line? What about dropping or swapping a reserve day if needed?

RSV has been for the jr 900 CA much yet projecting the future.

In addition to that, all of the folks I know that are "lifers" are fairly happy too.
