Approx how many block hours are reserve guys getting a month on the CRJ in LAX?
Best guess on how long I'd be on reserve on the CRJ in LAX?
Is it possible to get ORD out of training on the CRJ?
How long to hold a line on the CRJ in ORD?

Long time.... but you wouldn't even be able to get to the LAX base for at least 8-10 months. The newest FO at LAX was hired 5/18.

You can see the newest hire for all the bases on the OO site.

Yep! ORD/DTW are the usual initial bases for CRJ classes.

Not sure on that... I think hiring is starting in full swing again, so the numbers will probably move quickly as each class is fairly large from what I understand.
