Really depends on the amount of open time available, your relative seniority in seat/base, as well as how proactive you are.

I have never been awarded an open trip during reserve proffering, and I have never not proffered for every open trip that ends w/in my reserve footprint. 10 months.

Sitting in base trying to pick up OT on days off may be easier.

So reserve time on the OFL slot should be relatively short? (3 months or so)

The top of the list right now, taking out the two that are senior and will be upgrading shortly, is a 2074 seniority number with the bottom being a 2390.

How that plays out in terms of timeframe I am unsure, however things are moving pretty quick around ORD so you might not be far off.

Thanks for the input, much appreciated!

I started the end of May and got 175 ORD. I could have held a composite in Nov. i bid reserve instead to get Thanksgiving off. Just found out I got Christmas off too. I cant complain.

8-30 hours per month is a reasonable range.

30 being the very high end of reasonable. I think most FO's, depending on base of course, can easily pick up 10-15 hours if they try. However, with some hard work, trip trading, asking for peoples trips and getting lucky that number can go up.

Well it's not too hard to be honest if the situation comes up. There are numerous times the first seven days Are scheduled off. Pick up a good 20+ hour four day plus add some turns here or there on days off and at the start or end of sequence and 30 is doable. Now when we are looking at months with hardly any OT you may be lucky to get 5-10 hours of OT.

It all depends on your seniority too. Junior guys would have a much harder time picking up good OT.

The original response said "it depends" which is absolutely correct but kinda vague and wasn't help to the question. Pretty sure we all know "it depends" can be the answer for almost every question people ask on here.
