I wouldn't be too worried about the STL base. Currently there are no lines out of STL and it would not surprise me if the base was to close early next year! Expect reserve to be 1-2 months, however I have been hearing that even on reserve, some pilots have been getting 80+ hours a month!
Let the RJ guys fly there RJs, when they are looking to upgrade, i'll be looking at the majors or Cargo! BTW..I have been there 6 months and I have got about 550 hours with Lakes....I would love to see the average RJ FO with those times!!
