Appreciate the information
All the airports listed with the exception of ORD is obtainable on the 1st or 2nd bid cycle. ORD is probably 3-4 bid cycles? Not entirely sure tbh, but that shouldn’t be far off.
FOs are indeed twiddling their thumbs at home or in a CrashPad unless they drop reserve and try to pick OT.
