Well I think there are only about 5 FOS on reserve who got Xmas off. The real reason is there are not enough FOs in chicago. Senior reserves usually bid because they have enough below them to avoid the worst parts of reserve life and have a better QOL than what their senority would hold lin wise. This isn't the case in december and they won't have many below them. I think that pilot will hold a line if wanted for awhile. New York is opening yes and while lines may decrease so will the amount of pilots above as they start their upgrade for nyc or transfer over. There's a lot to be said for being on the front end of a hiring wave.
