LAX: NBFO... newhire or first BiD <probably on reserve>
756 FO: about 6 months <Not much movement off the top of the 756 list so stagnant category and probably on reserve for a couple of years>
787FO: 5 years (that’s an assumption that might not hold true) <probably on reserve for years>

You get the idea - if you chase career progression at the fastest pace possible at UAL you will be on reserve most of the next 10 years of his career until our huge retirement wave hits. Reserve living in base isn’t bad....if OP wants to commute then god bless him and go find a good crash pad.
