From what the guys in my crashpad tell me, AE has ENTIRE lines built of airport ready.
Ya, if you come to Eagle, you can be a line holder right off of IOE!
Ready reserve is known as "airport appreciation" at AE. I did it for 3 months straight in ORD, and a couple more here and there. I guess the only thing good about it is the fact you can somewhat plan your commutes easier.
The fun game was to start out of the exit of the crew room, pick right or left, and walk the entire ORD airport with your right or left shoulder on that wall until you made it back to the nest. I can say I've seen every inch of ORD, sadly.
