The crj isn't much lighter than the erj in chicago on the CA side. FO side is very heavy on ERJ, 48% odd coverage

Hey at least the food and bear is 1/2 price in the brewhouse on the front of the MKE Hilton with your ID. I love layovers there, nice gym, Harley museum/factory down the street.

Admittedly on the RJ I once got a 5 day OBR in PSP...

... At the Renaissance...

... While the national college cheerleading championship was in town, and the girls all stayed at the Renaissance.

Those 5 days by the pool (interrupted by a quick SFO turn) were tough, I gotta tell you.

Trust me on this one. It did.

As for pictures...well, I'd have been tossed out of the pool courtyard for being the dirty old man taking pics of all the bikini babes!

Of course, the next OBR sit I did was in ORD. In the winter.

Meanwhile, an RJ FO from ORD was doing an OBR in SFO. Because we are way more valuable to them if we are sitting on reserve somewhere else besides home. Pay no mind to the hotel and positive tickets we cost. Almost as efficient as our 3 hour sits in other bases.

Yup. I'm quite positive that every week, the CS managers show metrics to TG and the bean counters that include something like:

"Percentage of reserve pilots utilized last week: XX%"

And I'm equally convinced that they will TDY an SFO guy to ORD, and an ORD guy to SFO at the same time, just to boost that number.

There's just absolutely no question about it.
