You did. Let me refresh your memory.
Or are you seriously comparing FO to CA reserve times?

I know who dera is, and he's surprisingly not management. A DFW 175 FO hired in December, listening to him in person rivals the nonsense he posts on the internet.

It is not uncommon and has happened in the past that people will grab a line during the summer months only to fall back onto reserve when the lines get cut.
Once again your facts are true, but only under very specific circumstances and at the right times. They however may not be indicative of long term trends.
Anyway, for the OP, see my post above and you will do fine. If you have other options, I would consider them first unless you have the right circumstances to make coming here worthwhile.

Fact is: FO reserve time has not been 2 years in any seat during 2019.
I hope no-one thinks a snapshot from current month is indicative of future trends.

That part of the interactive list is worthless really.

When people senior to you bid reserve, you will hold a line faster.
The interactive seniority list shows the worst possible case.
The number of hard lines also hasn't been updated.
That calculator really isn't worth much.
