High credit 700/900 4 days are going to go a lot more senior than low credit 200 4 days, etc.

My personal favorite overnights out of ORD: TVC, PHX, SBA, MEM, AUS, SAT, YHZ, MSP, STC. CMX is nice in the summer but unfortunately I usually end up there in the winter.

I bid about 45% and I can only hold 700 and 900 trips if I want to fly on weekends. I can't hold 700 locals at all and I can't hold 700/900 4 days with weekends off. If I want weekends off I have to bid the 200. If I don't mind working weekends I can hold all 700/900. It will probably take you until under 60% before you're able to hold 700/900 trips on weekends, and it will take you until under 40% to hold all 700 and 900 on week days. If you're trying to bid locals you'll be under 30% before you can touch 700 locals.
