I live local. (20 mins to F lot). 2008 "Uhire". Have had most weekends off bidding short call reserve. Did not fly AT ALL in Oct. except for a day that rolled on from Sept.
Nov. Wasn't much different.
Could've held a line for most of the time I've been back, but enjoy weekends off.
Now that being said, have to see how Jan. Bid turns out. Some different commands that I hope I used properly. Also, I am assuming no more choice of long call (A) or short call (B) because I did not see that option. I know that they were calling A in a lot more than B...

Thanks for all the great info guys. I probably should have explained at the outset that I'll be reserve only for the time after I finish training. Little surprise from paragraph 20-C-3. If after finishing training a pilot is qualified in a Category other than he bid for during monthly Preferencing then the company builds a reserve line for the remaining days. Everyone getting BAT training or switching between 76T and 756 on a vacancy bid will get to enjoy some quality time on reserve.
Anyways, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that I get to stay home
