On reserve, you can’t do more than 6 days in a row due the 30/168 117 rule. In theory, you could do all of your trips in row, but probably not until you get enough seniority to have a broader selection of trips. As a NH lineholder, you are basically dealing with the leftovers, forcing PBS into one workblock at that point would probably fail in the actual run.
One workblock might be much for many people. I usually do two or three. After 6 or 8 days in a row, I’m usually pretty spent, but it does afford less commuting and longer time at home.

If you live 20 minutes from EWR, and min time away from home is the goal, bid the 777/787 and enjoy reserve life. I haven’t shaved since Christmas. You will get used frequently on NB reserve, granted you can get a line extremely quickly too. There’s really no bad options when you live that close to a junior base. Good luck.
