Last two bids everyone that came in is senior to me. I'm looking at reserve for the summer at least if not longer. If you want DEN and want to fly go CRJ. DEN is one of the smallest ERJ bases. DEN ERJ is stagnant while DEN CRJ is growing.

Is there anyway to tell which base has more flying vs another?

You’ll actually fly and... drumroll... hold a line right out of training!

Which ERJ base is most Junior? I.E. which base can I hold a line the fastest?
Thanks again.

Question
How does LGA 175 reserve time compare to DFW CRJ reserve time? Trying to make my airframe and base decision. I am aware of the 175 upgrade being much longer, I’m mostly interested in schedule QOL which I hear is about getting a line faster. Is it true the CRJ would fly more hours per year? Thanks all!
