Reserve varies from base to base. I haven’t really worked weekends and had a solid reserve schedule in June. July was gearing up to be pretty bad month. Mainly cuz I needed very specific days off, but since the reserve grid was green, I was able to drop my reserve days and pick up trips from the trade board. YMMV
What I can say of that you will have 18 days of reserve and 12 days off a month per our contract.

When you are really new, you’re kind of stuck in the suck. When you get a little seniority you can do a few things to mitigate the pain a little.
allow single days off, take the weekends off then every Wed. This leaves no more than 2 day trips. Commuting? Bid 6 in a row.
contract says you can’t work more than 6 in a row and can’t get less than 2 days off at a time unless you waive it. So be creative within the guidelines. As a new hire, not likely to be reserve for very long anyway.
