We've been so short on pilots some domiciles won't have any reserves for a while. You'll be a line holder nearly immediately in MSP. The thing to do is delay transferring somewhere until you can hold a line there.
That said, being a junior line holder might mean a schedule of low paying locals or split duties.

Iah is pretty good you'd probably get off reserve in about 3 to 4 months. Maybe 6 if you're unlucky. I've seen one 4 day trip that paid 17hrS. Most trips pay around 20 to 22 a 4 day. So the flying is nice.

SFO, MSP, SLC, ORD, and DEN are the bases I know of that have minimal to no reserves.

The good news is the reserve re-write is just around the corner. (Clarification that was sarcasm. We have been hearing that line for about 5 years now) Our Dixie IT team has just finished our QOL changing Sched+ Mobile and I am sure that is next in line. Or we are just waiting to have reserves to pick up the reserve proffering. I get all the excuses mixed up.
