You're one data point too.
When I am on reserve, I check my base RCO several times per day too.
The vast majority of what little open time pops up gets picked up straight and never makes it to a reserve. Those that get assigned often have the trips picked up, either out of TTGA or straight pickup. Some folks actually have a fly preference too.
On all but 1.5 of the 13 days I've sat so far, I was No 1 on the RCO and most of it was on weekends or partial weekends. I was 2 on the last 3 day block. The guy ahead of me got assigned several times, but was able to give them away, and finally got sent out on a 2 day late on day 2 of 3, which moved me to No1 for the last day and a few hours on the second day.
YMMV, but reserve in my base is one of the few good deals these days.

Slip, I heard a rumor that the company wants to make all MCO and PHX captains be right-seat qual'd (special lance for you!). In doing so, they'll ensure every open trip systemwide, subrigged or not, will be exported to MCO and PHX and be flown at straight.
