I've been around 10 years, lineholder, and in 2016 my bonuses were just shy of 11k.

ORD had at one point more reserves than line holders, it came down a bit, but it is back up again.

Any reason why they had more reserves than line holders?

Nothing required (that I have seen) but many (most?) guys operate as if we did have a requirement, including me. If CAVU the full approach brief is typically waved and definitely not joined at the IAF.
Even during the day I think most guys load a proper approach in the box, I know I rarely see a visual built.

I always load up an approach with everyone I fly with. Definitely the norm around here.

Horizon also operates predominately in a region of the United States in which mountainous terrain is prevalent, yes? Perhaps it feels the need based off safety data that aircraft being established on an IAP before acceptance of a visual will mitigate the risks associated with visuals at night. It is actually a good idea in mountainous terrain to do so.... There are all kinds of visual and vestibular illusions which have caused accidents in aviation history.
