I know it can fluctuate, but which base/plane would a new hire spent the least amount of time on reserve? Sounds like Bus JFK followed by E190 BOS?

correct. However, just like anything else in this industry, it can change quickly.

Edit: Probably stay away from the bud, even on RSV.

61! That's awesome! I thought my 80 hours was good.
I've got 18 days till my next dequal.... I was hoping to stay under 100 hours for the year, but it's going to be tight.

My last 9 days on call have included:
6 Long Call days
1 Short Call
2 Release days.

I just finished the "perfect week," 3 days of Long Call and Rel on the 4th. Not one day of SC. Gotta love when coverage is way above min!
