I did in fact read that; my point was that it is not always true as it wasn't true at all in my case. I've *never* had an issue getting the day off I needed and bid for, even when I was on the bottom of the list. It just depends on what you want, the base, etc.

Were OBRs a big thing with hard line reserves as well?

Hey,
I’ve been offered a position with OO and MSP is my preferred base. Thankfully it seems pretty junior but I’m trying to figure out some things about the base and wondering if you guys could answer some questions.
- I saw on a previous thread that FOs are currently on reserve for 6-8 months before they get a line in MSP. Is this still true? Is reserve time increasing or decreasing?
- How many days off per month will an FO average in MSP on reserve versus when they hold a line?
- How long to hold a line as a CA in MSP?
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers.

Based purely on seniority? What about FO's that are hired with >1000 hrs Part 121?
