You will experience sheer disappointment after being sent back out for an extra turn on your last day when you want nothing more than to go home and then be excited for a seven AM release or a misconnect that lets you go home since you live locally. There really isn't a normal day with everything else falling in between both extremes.

The shortest reserve times are in Chicago with EMJ running five months and CRJ running eight months. That will obviously ebb and flow but Chicago has historically been more junior for all seats compared to DFW.
