Reserve list is normally around 40/50 in ORD and DFW on the 145. Imagine they hire an average of 50/month (20/25 emb145 pilots), that could potentially be 2/3 months reserve time. Now for that to be true, they also have to upgrade the same amount of guys or increase the number of lines (which could definitely happen).

But I wouldn't be surprise a NH to sit no more than 2 months on reserve in a few months.
