E-175 Reserve
Could anyone describe a typical E-175 reserve schedule? Days off per month, flexibility to bid 3 days-off in a row? Average time before becoming a line holder. I'll commuting to SEA and would like to know what to expect. Thanks.

I read somewhere that on the February bid, there are 22 reserve lines supporting 34 regular lines of flying in the E175.
I'd plan on sitting reserve for a while, and hope the new planes come early.

113 jet captains
92 jet FOs.
5 CA and 5 FOs per airplane, or 10 pilots total per plane.
205/10 = 20.5 E175s. But we only have 10. Hence the sitting around doing nothing.
