Thanks for the information!

I'm starting in said Feb. 27th class. I'm 28, so getting the 175 is somewhat unrealistic, which I'm okay with.

Anybody have any thoughts on if I should go 145 LGA or ORD? I live in Denver and will be commuting. I've read all of the previous posts, and it seems like LGA reserve is much shorter, as it's picking up more flying and people bid out. And it seems like the block per trip you get out there is better than ORD. But, the commute will certainly be harder. I'm leaning towards LGA since reserve is so much shorter there than ORD, and commuting to reserve doesn't sound like much fun. Then, when my seniority allows holding a line in ORD or DFW, I can bid that. Is that thought process on track, or do you veterans have other insights?

Thanks for everyone's help ahead of time!
