It's anyone's guess what things will look like in 6 months.
50 ERJs that are NOT going to ORD. Majority of those are going to be on the west coast with a few MAYBE hitting DEN and ORD. There is a reason the DVR has had 0 into ORD for the last 4 months. The last bid was 84 targeted lines with 149 FO's. If you come in as the bottom guy, you can expect to be on reserve for well over a year...Like most of the people 110-149 on the list.
So yes, while you MAY...MAY get ORD at some point, do you really want to sit on endless reserve when you could be flying on the CRJ?
