Sugardaddy,
Reserve line times vary by domicile, but AM's are generally something like 0300-2000 and PM's are 1000-0100. I'm sure someone based in HOU can give you their exact times.
As for your other questions, the answer is (of course) it depends. AM's or PM's is more of a personal preference if you live in domicile- is it more painful for you to get called at 0330 for a 0600 show or to fly until 0100 in the morning?
The amount you're used on reserves can vary tremendously. I'm on PM reserve in OAK and despite having a preference to pass flew 15 of 16 days this month. Other friends of mine on AM reserve in OAK didn't fly at all on their last couple blocks. Reserves are more likely to be used on the weekends than weekdays.
You can put a preference to pass or fly in the computer, but in my limited experience it doesn't mean much. Anyone care to take a stab at explaining how the reserve callouts are made?
