Reserve? Yes some.
Pairing length? All day turns. No overnights
Days per month? 15-20 days off off per month. Pairings are day turns and most have high credit and close to max duty, quite efficient
ot potential? as much as you want within CARS limits currently. Working on a day off is paid double time

Wow, 20, 14 ish hour days a month. That’s like 70 hour work weeks in the normal world.

Yes. YXX turns, YVR turns, YWG & YYC turns (I think). Also YHZ and YYZ. So a mix of short, mid and longer.

None yet. There were hundreds who applied in the spring. I wouldn't be surprised if they draw from a pool, but the OP would be best suited to answer.

We're working hard on the background software to ensure that we're able to handle the required volumes of applicants and to make sure no one gets missed by the recruitment team. We're anticipating sometime by the end of September.
