Stay in the domicile that will give you the highest possible bidding seniority (ORD, MSP, or COS on the CRJ). Bid the most efficient trips and pick up the most efficient trips possible on your days off (usually efficient locals if you can find them).

Thanks threeighteen and amcnd for the tips. I’m already trying to futz around sked+ and learn it a bit. Understand one cannot pick up available trips while I’m on reserve so will have to work days off to get time if I’m sitting. Appreciate the advice. Thanks and hope to see you on the line.

Default CRJ ORD Reserve?

How long can one expect to sit reserve on the CRJ if based at ORD?

typically no longer than one month, but ebbs and flows.

Are these always the busiest bases or does it change? I guess a better question is when putting in for a base after training how does one know which base to bid for shortest reserve since there is an ebb and flow.
