A line is an awarded flying schedule. You’ll know your schedule ahead of time and won’t be on reserve. If your goal is CLT or ORD I would suggest a different regional. There are so many more lines in IND and CMH because Republic operates an outstation business model. PSA or Piedmont might be better options for you in CLT. Or Skywest in ORD. If you’re ultimate goal is to avoid a commute.
