On average what type of hours am I looking at after IOE being on reserve? Also is there a hotel in the area that you can recommend? Thanks
Welcome to Chicago! Reserve will be a month or less (check out the bid info sheet - they hardly build reserve lines here and MSP!) although you may have a composite line the next month. Skybridge has a fantastic breakfast and take a walk over to the American side for Burrito Beach.
Most trips are on the 200, but you'll get a delta 700/900 trip here and there.
I think there's a best western nearby for $60/night with free breakfast. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
You'll be flying a lot on reserve. 90 hour months are typical for line holders.
PM me any other questions.
