I did the DFW-ORD commute for a while and it wasn't terrible. All commuting sucks but there's 15+ AA flights a days (some on widebodies so that's like 3 jumpseats per plane), United, and Spirit also does the route. In regards to reserve on the 145 in ORD (or the CRJ) you shouldn't sit reserve for more than a couple months. 5-6 at most. One thing I will say is that the 145 still has the greatest variety in flying. You can do short hops or you can do long hops all in one trip which keeps things entertaining. The Miami flying is fun, and we're going to start overnighting in the Bahamas next month from what I saw on the NRTP on my.eaglevoyjet.com. It's really not a bad gig. Not perfect but no regional is.

I'm not in the CRJ but from what my friend's schedules look like mostly 3-4 legs (long ones) IAH, SAT, BDL, EWR, and lots of flying through DFW. To be honest, it changes every month even for us. A lot of places are also served by both planes.

Indeed! I would prefer to read useful info rather than weeding through all the bickering while I'm waiting to come here. The other airlines don't seem to have quite as much of it, though there is a fair amount all around.

I agree. The only time I've had trouble commuting is during bad wx days. There have been times where I give up and just stay the night in ORD for an early departure. Sometimes, if it looks really bad, I've done the two leg/outstation commute on our own metal. You do have many options.

There's no reason why this forum topic post cant show the highs and lows without being nasty. We're all adults here.
Furthermore slinging mud at eachother is something I did in 2nd grade lol. We're mature now.Or at least I'd like to think!
So lets keep the trend going!
