good info JJ thanks. I live 15 mins from ORD and am happy as can be being on RSV. Last month I credited 7 hours which consisted of (2) 2 leg locals. I have weekends off and have been getting early released everyday of reserve. Typically 9am off by 4pm at the latest. Pay checks have sucked but I have a part time job which has turned into a full time job as a result of the lack of flying. I was on RSV on the CRJ at eagle before I started here last January and all I can say is it is night and day how they treat me.

I have been awared SLC on the jet and if I went there today I would be on reserve and I have been here just a few days shy of 14 months. In DEN it would be even worse. You have to have been here awhile if your holding a line in SLC! ORD and MKE it would all be a different story all together.
In the crew lounge the other day talked to an SLC based RJ pilot who is 2 numbers junior to me. He told me that he was awarded a line for June as well as someone 4 numbers junior to him. Your seniority number does not always tell you where the cut off is for lines because there are people senior to you who are not eligible due to ASE flying or training dept, or esp. in the summer bid reserve to have more time off. If you want a line, albeit a crappy one, at my level you can get it, along with the wonder that is sked+ and the ability to better control your schedule.

If you happen to be in a domicile with good skedplus coverage, all you need to do is hold a line...ANY line. As long as you have that, you can swap around to get a line you like.
