That's awesome!

I was checking the bid information in SWOL and realized that DFW has way WAY more reserve lines than other domiciles in comparison, what's the reason for this? Are we planning ahead for those "new" 700s coming soon?

Anyone know for a new guy how likely it is that I'll get called on reserve M-F AM in Denver?

There's so many variables to getting called, nobody would really know. Some factors that can contribute to getting called on reserve:

number of reserve pilots, your fdp, your bucket, recent irops, your seniority, call first, open time assignments.

Look at these factors every reserve day, they will change daily/hourly. This is the only way to make an educated guess on if you're getting called.

United is shifting a lot of flying to Denver when ORD starts construction, plus their growth.

So...if you started this year, theres a good chance you'd get called more often than sitting around

If you're looking for a blanket statement, expect to get called fairly often. If you aren't the most junior and aren't any big system IROPS, you may score a couple reserve days here and there each month where you don't get called.
