It really depends on many things. I have been hired at 3 different airlines, sat reserve for a year then furloughed for the first two airlines. The 3rd one, I sat reserve for 2 months then 2 months later held a 16 day off 90 hour line. next month I'll have 18 days off and 77 hours. What do you consider best case scenario? Some people will consider best case scenario to get hired, upgrade fast, then get on with the majors. Some people consider it, not getting furloughed and having a job/stability. Some people who have seen their best case scenario (based on personal preference) have also seen that turn into worst case scenario. I hope that answers your question.

I can tell you that most of the lines here at Eagle for a Dfw based FO are pretty sweet. Many have a bunch of days off between trips, many of the trips are 3 days with overnights in base, plus the first 8-10 days of each month off.
Reserve sucks, on the other hand.. No getting around that.

Generally, a line is better than reserve.
Living in base is better than commuting.
Living in base and holding a line is great.
Basically though, lines that are worth a lot of time in the shortest period possible are typically best. (we do event bidding here and the days that are 7+ hours go quite senior)

I'm lucky... Not the norm. I live in base (cmh) and am number 5 out of about 45. I get almost all one day tips ( home every night). I average about 18 days off. Some months I will trade o about 14 days off in order to take a bunch of easy turns ( leave home at 5 am be back in my front door by noon), a few days a week. But again, I'm not the norm.
