Pick up some rsv...you'll see it a lot. Questionable whether or not rsv utlization stays the same or changes a lot next month with short notice provision and no STC before POT.

I personally believe there’s going to be a paradigm shift in “the game” this year. With all the changes in this contract, there’s going to be more DOT/HOT than POT/PHOT awards and as such RSV utilization is going to go down. More unused days getting paid to sit on the couch, which will drive RSV more senior throughout the year. That coupled with the inevitable added legs/reroutes on those fully rigged DM only days and the LCO that goes along with it, RSV will be the new premium for those looking to hu$tle.

I think they reduced the amount of block associated with reserve as well so ine might be able to do a few more days in a month. That's the problem with reserve is the block liability is so high that you cant do more than 18 days/month and that the block wouldnt come off until the whole reserve block was gone causing problems in the next month.
I dont think that was fixed

I've been used 1 day out of 9 days on reserve. So far.
I'm not on a reserve line and I only pick those up when it looks like I won't get used. And I grab them from TTGA when I can. Because that allows that NH to grab the trip I would be awarded for 2nd yr rate and allows me to stay at home

Used every single day except for 1 this month with a pass preference.

It's February. This is not your typical reserve month. I have seen tons of straight pickups, a lot at less than rigs from varsity players with exes.
