There is room now that the 700's are gone and OO still has another 20 coming for united

What is the minimum amount of hours a pilot can drop down to (if able to drop) during a monthly line without losing any benefits/etc? In other words, can s/he drop below the 75 hour min guarantee?

I would bid ORD CRJ in training. If I got it, are there many overnights in MSN? Are there any "lost days" in MSN? Is that a senior line or a junior line at Skywest airline?

ORD is junior.

Thanks, and any idea how long it'd take for a new ord crj f/o to get a line with around 15 days off? I have a 2nd job that I can keep doing as long as I get 14 or 15 days per month to devote to it.

Is MSN a senior "spoke" or junior, or mixed?

I think you are thinking bases? MSP, ORD, DTW are bases. Everything starts and ends there on most trips. If you get a MSN overnight, it's just that, an over night. I know we do MSN stand ups, but those are basically quick overnights. Those are pretty mixed in seniority. We also do turns, which are just like they sound. People get off, people get on. I don't believe that any airline has MSN with long stays. Like you said it's just a spoke, and typically it's just a short one
