Some stuff in the middle but not as much. Seems like a D reserve would be getting plenty of use on those redeyes. But I guess even with a RAP starting at noon, you’re not necessarily safe from those if the trip is scheduled to end in your 16hr RAP (ie 4am home time, which I feel like I saw trips getting to Florida just before 6am which would be 4am home time).
Anyway I knew what I was getting into, just wanted to check my hunch that late reserve could get used a lot. Especially since every new hire seems to be out west lately.

How long are they saying is the IOE wait for you guys? I've heard 2 weeks and I've heard 6-8 weeks.

Unfortunately no I cannot answer your question otherwise.

Generally, about 75% of a base’s schedules are fixed lines and approx 25% are reserve lines. They’ll usually do a higher reserve percentage in a newer base for a few months. You want to be top 75% in base to be a consistent line holder.

Is it fairly easy to pick up trips/flying while on reserve?
