As of right now 60 lines in MARCH no reserves, 3 scheduled classes scheduled thru July (est 20 a class) if someone got April you would have a good chance to hold a line out of training in fat in the bro. Being a MCO commuter to FAT(4 of us) the commute is LONG but not that bad. Fat is the largest bro base, and there are quite a few trips that start or end with a DH. Plus any airport west of DFW you can fly into fat (den/phx/las/lax/sfo/slc/sea/pdx/ont). My route of choice is to lax, 6 flts a day to lax (ua/dl/aa/va). Either way I was lucky to get on in 2008 and had a line, sometimes composite, but still never got stuck. Plus the 2 redeyes to mco from lax, 1 from sea, and sometimes 1 from las help as with all the ones to Atl. I have done it on and off for 3 years and it sounds crazy but it isn't that bad. Besides the aa flts to/from Mia can be just as hard to get in as any other hub to hub.

But yes commuting to reserve to fat from the east coast like mco would be brutal. But except for one month in the 3 years in the bro,even during the months rumored to furlough when people took leave, we have had an avg 6 reserves in fat on a given day. Most of the time it had been below 3 or 4 reserve lines.
