This is pretty close to accurate. ORF is the easiest base and fastest to a line bid. LGA I think is 2nd. PHL and DCA are large bases but even those times to a line bid are pretty short. Three years ago it took me a year ot get a line in DCA.
We need FOs so you will get plenty of flight time of reserve...the line is indeed moving.
