Then it slowed down quite a bit and I only made it over reserve guarantee (70 hours) a handful of times. Since I've been on the DC-9 in MEM, I think I've only had one, maybe two, reserve months where I was able to get over 70.

Quite true.

I also enjoy sitting at home when we are over staffed on a jet. I got to enjoy the full pay for one four day a month last winter.
