So basically, other than being able to feel extra cool about flying "the big planes", it won't mean squat to you whether you fly the 200, 700, or 900 until you're off probation. ;-)
Don't think this is the case. Not defending SJS but you do get BHO in your first year. It also goes toward breaking guarantee from day one.
