ORD just 1 month. We know more next week.
No-one mentioned having weekends off, you're just moving goalposts now.
"Year of reserve" starts counting from the date of hire. One guy senior to you could flunk a maneuver and wait a month for a sim slot. Would finish ioe a month after you, spend that month less on reserve. Or military reserve guys could have a schedule conflict and finish ioe later.
Time since date of hire is just an easier metric.
So if you were hired in october and got off of ioe january, for example, and get a line in june, that's 8 months to hold a line, not 4.
Weekends was a figure of speech.
