Default Reserve times in Dallas

I'm thinking about applying with eagle and asking for DFW. Does anyone have any idea how long reserve times are running in Big D, and what aircraft the new hires are getting? Thanks

A buddy who just got hired at DFW was told they are starting to hire into the ERJ again as well as the Saab. Expect to be on reserve for quite a while though......months and months, maybe a year.

Likely now that you could end up in the ERJ or the Saab. Basically we are prioritizing the staffing on the jets at the expense of Saab flying. The current Saab FOs who are no longer seat locked would have first crack at the jet bids then vacancies would go to newhires. We have about 100 openings on the ERJ in ORD that would allow you to get hired and then transfer to DFW nearly immediately (but that's a risky game to play).

Reserve on the SAAB is 2 or 3 months in DFW. I was only on reserve for 1 month in LAX.
