Yep, it was actually six bid periods (months) on reserve. My DOH was 8/29, I finished IOE around 11/10, and May is my first month with a relief line. I was number 67 in the second round for May; I'm number 25 for June, but a few people bid down (for days off, I'm guessing).
Also, to add to the response about trips out of IAH, once you get a relief line you can do some shuffling with your schedule via trip trades, especially if you're concerned about trip length. I live in IAH, and I haven't spent a single night in a hotel yet this month. You've really got to watch open time like a hawk, though, to make it work.
