1) Anywhere from 12 to 18 days a month.

2) The default line is the 7&7. You have to bid for a reserve line. If you want one, you'll get one.

3) I don't think there is a best aircraft for reserve. It more depends on whether you like an APU, like transcons, like sitting in the FBO with a broken 400, whatever.

In most fleet/seat combinations, reserve is minimal and for the most part, reserve is usually not an assigned schedule. There have been instances where reserve actually went senior and people wanting the reserve schedule couldn't get it.

For what it matters, the contract specifies that not less than 10% and not more than 40% of the pilots in a given fleet/seat combination can be on the reserve schedule.

As for what aircraft is best for reserve, it depends on what your definition of "best" is. Do you want to fly, do you want to sit around, do you just have to have an APU?
