I just came online in August, I'll try to help:
1. I think it's 13 days off for reserve lines, 15 for relief lines, and I got a line this month with 82 hours and 18 days off. After they dropped the first 2 days of this month for legalities, I have 20 days off. I'm based in ACY.
2. I only did one month of reserve.
3. People are now bidding out of ACY without ever seeing it.
4. When I did that one month of reserve, I got 80 something hours.
5. ACY is getting 80 hour lines, not sure about the other bases, but there is tons of open time for pick up.
6. PHL is an hour from ACY so you can keep a car there for about $90 a month, guys are staying in hotels near the airport with a shuttle for about $40 a night. There is a train from the airport in Philly to Atlantic City, but not the airport. You'll have to take a taxi to the hotel or airport from the train station.
Let me know if you need any more info.

For all we know it may not even be us. But DTW has not been part of the "strategy" for a long time. I am just glad they did not close DTW even though "it does not work well as a base" according to JH. I would expect more LAS, DFW and ORD in 2012. But who knows? It may be DTW-PHX. We will see soon enough.
