Thanks
You may get it in training, but if not I don't think it will be too long with the movement we're going to have. ORD is junior to DFW. If you live in Chicagoland the LGA commute is pretty easy just due to the high frequency of flights. Also, the only 3 FOs I spoke to in the last few days were all junior-manned into working on one of their off days---so obviously we are very short-staffed at ORD at least at the moment.

Reserve recently has been very long but it is shrinking, and it's a fairly safe assumption that things will move fast. In previous years of heavy hiring, people spent just a few months on reserve. Everything comes down to how many people are hired after you get here, and all signs point to that being a big number if you are hired here soon. Best of luck.
