This section doesn't kick in fully until this August, but it's about to be 18 hours during most of the day, or 14 hours during the assignment window of 1200-1359 base time.
20-K-5-a For a Trip assignment, a Long Call Reserve must be assigned the Trip with a minimum of eighteen (18) hours notice prior to report time or a minimum of sixteen (16) hours notice prior to the start of a Short Call period.
20-K-5-a-(1) Notwithstanding the above, when an assignment is made in the window between 1200 and 1359 window (as prescribed in Section 20-I-6-c) the notice period shall be fourteen (14) hours to scheduled report for a Trip or start of a Short Call period.
20-K-5-a-(2) A VEC Reserve may be given an assignment while on Long Call Reserve with twelve (12) hours notice prior to the scheduled report time for a Trip or the start of a Short Call period, except that if the assignment is made on the VEC Reserve’s last day off the minimum notice required is fourteen (14) hours.
20-K-5-a-(3) A Pilot may waive these provisions.

I bid reserve to get the days off I want.
Next month I have 3 x 3 day weekends and 1 x 5 day weekend off.

and you purchased it at least 12 hrs from report time. which means if you are on long call and they call you at midnight for a trip the next day that reports at 1100 an you only have one flight option that would get you there, you are not protected by the commuter clause just because you buy a PS ticket even if that flight would get you there more than 90 min prior to report.

6 rsv days max with 2 days off in between is a bidding restriction imposed by having far 117 30/168 limits.
there ways to drop this down to one day off in between rsv blocks if you get released before noon on your last day and call scheduling to see if they will move a rsv day from another block.
was able to work
6 on, 1 off, 6 on, 1 off, 5 on, 11 or 12 off
I used this as a commuter since I couldn’t sit long call from home my first 4 months. This gave me a good chunk of days off and minimized my commutes.

Depends on the Captain. A good one will text or email and say "hey lets meet at the gate or lets meet at Ops." FOM says crews will meet in Ops 1 hour prior to departure for a domestic trip, 90 minutes prio to an international trip.
