FOs on reserve are breaking guarantee pretty much every month. Senior FOs don't bid reserve anymore because it is practically guaranteed to get flown. Any FO that can hold a line now wants a line.
Yes, there are "3 Days" worth 10 hours, which would mean "Redeyes", but "everything" is an extreme exaggeration that isn't even remotely true of the majority of DFW trips.

I think DFW (ORD, DTW) stands less of a chance surviving a F9 merger though. Seems like F9 had expressed interest in IAH before any of the merger talk began so I could see IAH surviving. I’ve read other people saying not to pick an airline for a domicile but isn’t that why 90% of people choose an airline? To be able to drive to work?

If JetBlue "wins" then yes, expect it to close. They have already made public statements that they plan to "divest" the Spirit assets and branding in favor of the JetBlue business model. Take thousands of employees who marched (successfully....) to the ULCC song and ask them to dance to a new tune, and see how the "synergies" work after that.

It’s spirit that wants DFW smaller not JetBlue

Basically it’s still a toss up to then. I appreciate the opinions of what to expect for the DFW base. Currently living in Dallas, it would be a huge blow to lose Dfw or not even get a chance to live at base. I would think if Jet Blue acquires Spirit that all bases not on the coast are going to be closed.
