I'd guess 6 months, here's my reasoning: I went from 4 from the bottom of the ORD FO list on 3/1 when I got displaced there, to long call reserve on 5/1. There aren't very many long call reserves, so if I hadn't quit I probably would be a relief line holder in June. So maybe 4 months to hold a relief line, and maybe 2-3 more months to barely hold a real line? But it's all a wild ass guess.

I would be careful with that. 6 monyhs sounds pretty resonable, but don't forget that as IAH shrinks, a lot of the guys that commutes anyways are switching to ORD to hold better lines. But 6 months sounds ok, if IAH doesn't see a drastic reductuion in lines. Lost quite a few lines in May at IAH.

Well that all depends on how many people are hired behind you. Hiring will not continue. If you get hired, just hope that they continue to hire the equivalent of 10%+ in your base and seat to get you off of reserve.
