As long as you fly 500 hours and have prior 500 hours of qualifying time or else it’s 1000 hours at United. Not sure what reserve WB FO utilization is, but I’ve flown with a few NB FO’s that don’t have the times after a year.

I’ll share my data point—Left coast 737 FO. Half winger. Solidly on reserve. Haven’t had a line yet and am not getting closer to the G line. Opening LAS didn’t help. Routinely going 3+ weeks without touching an airplane, as are a few friends in the base I talk to. Converted to short call 3x per month on average, never been called to fly off short call. Averaging one field standby every couple months. Well over 50% of the month’s workdays are unused long call.
Friends from my class on the 777 have had lines in SFO for months. I think the word got out, and that window appeared to close on the latest vacancy. At least one of our 787 classmates flies way more than I do and claims to love it even though he’ll be on reserve for a long time. Would be above the G line in several other 737 bases and in the top 50% in IAH, but solidly on reserve out here in the west. Maybe will change with summer but I flew less during spring break than in January… |
