if there are a lot of flights then it shouldn't be that bad. I'm in ATL, have lots of flights to PHL so I believe mine isn't going to be bad but I'm in training and not doing it yet so time will tell.

1. Reserves "should be almost nonexistent" More airplanes and limited pilots coming through the 145 pipe seem to make that a reasonable guess. Trying to remain optimistic.
2. Some of the trips appear to start late or end early. There's buffers for how soon you need to be at the domicile (PHL in this case) so perhaps you can work a few trips where you have to use a hotel (two per month from the company) on either the front or the back end.
This is all optimism, but I'll plan on getting stuck in Philly and miss a flight home at some point. Nature of the biz, I guess~ Maybe there are some other DFW guys in the company? I hadn't noticed anyone on the list as DFW based, but there may be others.

Since I haven't got out there and really tested the system, it *appears* to be somewhat manageable on two points:
1. Reserves "should be almost nonexistent" More airplanes and limited pilots coming through the 145 pipe seem to make that a reasonable guess. Trying to remain optimistic.
2. Some of the trips appear to start late or end early. There's buffers for how soon you need to be at the domicile (PHL in this case) so perhaps you can work a few trips where you have to use a hotel (two per month from the company) on either the front or the back end.
