Because reserve is 8+ years and global reserve is incredibly ridiculous.

I don’t see ORD in the class drops very often. Is that changing? I’ll be looking for either ORD or DEN asap as a new hire.

My QLOE was the first week of August, and I started OE about two weeks later. My sim partner started OE 5 days after his QLOE

There were unfilled ORD 320 vacancies in this last vacancy so that's why they're showing up now.

How often does reserve sit at the airport?

There's no real answer to that other than: it depends. It depends on how many people are available that day, how many open trips there are that day, how many FSB/SC the scheduler creates that day, and then how many the scheduler then creates later in the day if there are still people available.

From what I've seen and been told by people that I've flown with, maybe a couple a month per person, but it all depends on factors that are mostly out of your control.

Hello,

Is it possible when in reserve to join two blocks of six days off over two months? I got a CJO recently, awaiting class date.

Once you hold a line, how easy is it to manage your roster and get 10+off in a row. I am trying to understand what is possible to do with bidding/roster/ swapping related to days off as a junior line holder. Thanks

Almost impossible on a narrow body, and somewhat possible on occasion in a wide body fleet.

Same as above.
