NK reserve grid is required to be 75% of days green before trading/dropping starts each month. I’m at 50%, just dropped last 2 weeks of may and June.

At FedEx, you can probably drop your entire month if you wanted to just based on staffing alone. Easily swap a 4 day for a 3 day, etc etc. Reserves can drop all their days and pick up trips out of OT. A buddy on the 777 has done that since he started here 1.5yrs ago. It’s definitely not like the regionals.

G4 and then bid OAK base reserve. You will have the option to drop every work day if you want to (you can also use sick bank to cover this). You will work once in two months or so even if you don't drop anything.

Many a pilot has bid to be junior on a high-paying seat, thinking “commuting to reserve doesn’t look too bad, and I’ll hold a line soon!”
It’s a trap.
