WB FO ORD
 
can anyone give me some up to date info on ORD 787?

Approximately how long to hold 787 FO?

whats reserve like, called often, or pretty quiet?

Is it tough to hold a long call reserve?

are trips generally pretty commutable?

my ultimate goal is to get a 787 fo slot, and sit on a quiet reserve working as little as possible on min guarantee, is this a realistic possibility or a pipe dream?

Thanks in advance!

The bottom FO was hired three years ago.

Well that's one way to keep your flying skills sharp.

Idk the answers to your question, but I will say that everyone is long call reserve. You’re then converted to SC reserve (no more than 6 times a month). This is traditional reserve. LCL is still long call, but no SC conversions, but you’re the first one to fly. This usually goes more senior.

If your goal is to hide out on reserve, traditional is it

I watch it pretty closely. Could have held it on one vacancy ever, and that was a few weeks after getting hired. 4th year now and it's never even gotten close to me again.
