Anyone know about how far you have to be up the list in a particular category you have to be in order to be a full blockholder?
Also, do you have partial reserve lines, or is it all or nothing? As in, if your line can't be built to the minimum gurantee, do they drop trips that you could have held back into open time, or do you keep those trips on your line?
Thanks in advance.

The number of line holders is determined each month. Prior to bidding they publish an estimated number of line holders and an estimated average line value. Don't know the answer to the second question.

Reserves tend to be about 10-15% of each category. There are no partial reserve lines. If a regular line cannot be built for you that meets the minimum threshold, you get a reserve line. You also have the option of bidding reserve if any of your parameters can't be satisfied.(e.g. Award trips if layovers in Kiev, otherwise award reserve line, or Award trips not flying December 25th, otherwise award reserve line)

The other alternative for cheap home away from home living on reserve is shacking up with an chubby Flight Attendant. Either way, those ALPA sun shades will come in handy.
