Default IAH 76T Reserve

I received a move to IAH on the 76T effective in April. Is there anyone who can give me any insight as to how much reserves are flying on that fleet?

I seem to have limited access while I am on leave...hence the reason I asked here.

I'm not on the 76T but I have been watching the flying it does. For February it is doing five trips. LHR 3 day, LIM 3 day, FRA 4 day, EZE 4 day and SCL 4 day. As an FO there are those same trips as IRO/bunkie (excluding Lima).

The good news is that is there is very little open time and it's pretty easy to watch the five flights you need to cover. The bad news is that you could be shipped off to another base to cover open 76T flying.

Judging by the hours flown by the reserve up until today (11th), it's all over the place. One guy at 50 hours (showing aggressive pick up) and another with zero hours and everyone else somewhere in the middle. I hope that helps.

Expect a lot of short call. It s not unusual for the crew desk to put all the reserves -1 guy on a given day on short call. Oh and even though we have no am departures they still assign 2 and 3 am short call...
Not a bad gig if you live in base though

IAH 76T is the best kept secret in the company right now IMHO.
