Possibly but unlikely, delta is maxed on scope we'd have to take flying from someone. If dtw is what you want CRJ is the only way to go, most CRJ bases have significant open time.

How much flying can a new hire do on the ERJ?

Anything but ORD will surely get you 60 hours + after a couple of months.

Is that whilst on reserve or already holding a line?

What are the quickest bases to hold a line on the E175, say from the start of the new year? Would LAX be one considering the introduction of the Delta LAX-SFO shuttle on 3rd Jan?

FOs for the past year haven't been doing much flying ORD, that being said we're getting 19 delivered between now and the end of the year so reserve will go down

Currently it's a combination of mainline and compass till 3 December. Then it will be mainline only till 3 January 2017. From 3 Jan, it will be a combination of mainline and SkyWest.

Not many people in recent classes are getting DTW. I see A LOT of ORD and then DTW is sprinkled in between. Bunch of guys in my class (including myself) and the class ahead of us got ORD. I only know of one guy that got DTW and that was his first pick.
