The main problem with the 145 is that it will take a lot longer to get to DFW if that's where you're going, and it will take a LOT longer to hold a line. I have been on reserve almost 10x as long as the people in my class who got OFL/DFL. We're talking part of a month versus years. We have some of the worst reserve rules in the regional industry for commuters.

On CDOs, you have to approach it from the perspective of a captain who lives in base and doesn't want to fly. It starts to make a lot of sense.
