~ 90h block for the 5 months.

EDIT: for the past 2 months i flew less than 10h combined when assigned reserve period. i wish PSA wouldn't over hire as much. Reserve has been really great for people living in base, as you are not used at all. For commuters you just sit around and do nothing.

Half my time was on reserve. Half as a commuting line holder. Block 617hrs for the year. Average 13-15 days off a month as a line holder, 12 as a senior reservist. On reserve one month I got used only 4 times... the next month I got used every single day. Occasionally I’d pick up opentime on reserve when I didn’t get used

As a F/O I was able to use SAP to push my flying together. I was able to get an 8-10 consecutive day off stretch each month to travel. The rest of the month, I would schedule to fly 90-95 hours.

As a reserve captain now, I have a lot less flexibility over my schedule. Work 4 days and then 2 days off. Work 5 days and then 3 days off... 11 or 12 days off a month. Minus open time pickups.

Of the Days on reserve, I am on reserve, I get used 80% of the time. Mostly for airport standbys or turns. Occasionally, I will get assigned a full 3 or 4 day trip, but that is rare.
