Yea but if you have a bunch below you, your reserve QOL is gonna go up right? Or do you get picked for trips at random?
The answer from your first question...I finished IOE in Feb (nov hire).
And for the second question:
Yes, I pick almost whatever I want, and with almost 30below me the call me for late trips with long overnights if I don't proffer and get a RAP 2.
Assignments are in reverse seniority so if you're the guy bellow in a RAP 1 you can get a call at 4am in the morning.
