It just depends on your seniority. I only started 6 months ago and was on reserve for two weeks and have held a line since. It's varies everywhere you go. I went from about 12 days off one month, to 13 to 14 to 15 last month. Heres what my schedule looks this upcoming month:

two 2 day trips back to back.
By that I mean, a trip that lasts two days then back at your base, then another trip the next day that lasts another two days.

March
1 OFF
2 OFF
3 FLY
4 FLY
5 FLY
6 FLY
7 OFF
8 OFF
9 OFF
10 FLY
11 FLY
12 FLY
13 FLY
14 OFF
15 OFF
16 OFF
17 FLY
18 FLY
19 FLY
20 OFF
21 OFF
22 OFF
23 FLY
24 FLY
25 FLY
26 FLY
27 OFF
28 OFF
29 OFF
30 OFF

Then of the four days that I'm flying :

Day 1
Report for duty at 11:55am

PSP-LAS
LAS-FAT
FAT-SFO
SFO-RDM

Released at 20:52

Day 2
Report at 06:25

RDM-SFO
SFO-FAT
FAT-LAS
LAS-PSP

Released at 15:53

Day 3 and 4 is a repeat of day 1 and 2. These are whats called two day back to backs. With the exception of it being a weekend trip(the trip existed weekdays, my seniority couldn't hold it) this is an extremely easy schedule for the Brasilia. We're used to having an average of 6 to 8 legs, depending on your line.

My buddy who was hired at American Eagle about 6 months ago spent quite a bit of time on reserve. (I'm not sure if he's off it yet) It really depends on company needs and being at the right place at the right time.
