Flying varies month to month for both line holders and reserves. Some months reserves fly 50-60 hours, and some months they fly 100. A lot of months there isn't anyone on reserve because there aren't enough pilots to have any.
Line holders range from 70-105, depending on the month.
Min days off are 10 on reserve, and 11 as a line holder. It's reducible to 8. Training also counts as days off, which you don't get paid for under some circumstances.
In the past, the lines during September and October were 40-60 hours, but that ended last year due to not enough pilots (at least where I'm based at, other bases may be different).

Who exactly are you and why do you care?
You have no idea how many times we've flown questionable aircraft into questionable conditions. How often dispatch here is negligent. How much internal fortitude it takes to stand up against the amount of pressure they put on you here. Yet there you go pushing your case time and again.
Either you're from another airline and actually are a dispatcher or pilot and you decided to add your two cents again and again to a company you have no concept of or you are a part of the machine here at Allegiant. Either way I don't find you nearly as important as you do.

I don't find myself important either but find it amusing that you haven't answered any questions other than saying it was the captains choice. I had agreed to that point since the beginning.
Enjoy the view from the right seat just like Eagle. I will bow out since all anyone can say is join management.

This is the case more so now with the new 'PBS' type scheduling system. After the "computer" generates the schedules, the company goes back in and assigns all the open flying to our schedules (not in order of seniority, either)..

Generally speaking, it doesn't matter what your seniority is - the most senior CA and most junior FO can expect similar (awful) schedules. Seniority doesn't mean much around here.

I don't care. I look at Allegiant threads on occasion to see how things are since I could've been there.

I probably wouldn't have a problem going into ROA with the autospoilers inop. What I would have a problem with is doing the carpet dance after the fact for landing when the penalty on T/O is so big that you can't depart.
