odd to put in ORD thread hehe. 737/320 is always the answer c since you can always move up in category . 756 LAX and SFO are mostly transcon redeyes. LAX 787 is average size but good flying, slow seniority progression tho

In regards to weekends off on the A320/737 in ORD on reserve can you bid a certain way to get them?
I’m at Spirit and every month on reserve I waive my guaranteed days off to 1 and request weekends off. It pretty much worked starting my 2nd month on the line.

when you’re senior enough, you can bid reserve on weekdays only, but that’s a long ways off.

ALPA publishes a bidding strategy handbook that has some "get weekends off" tips. But as in all things, seniority rules. IMHO the new work rules will make reserve go more senior. Now that FSB is worth 3 hours of add-pay, tons of locals are going to bid a week-day reserve schedule becase FSB has a <5% use rate. You might be able to play around with the QOL calculator on aircrewedge.com to figure that out for NB ORD.

What's desireable? What do you want? Go to flightsfrom.com and sort the UAL flights out of LAX to see where each plane goes. If you have a GF in GUA then do that. If you love HI then do that. If you want to bounce back and for to SFO and ONT doing day-trips, then do that.

LAX shows up on the new-hire drop about every other class or so. Even if it isn't in the drop, it will show up in the next vacancy or two. Even if you have to take SFO or IAH you are very likely to be able to trade into it before you are done with OE
