I think this is common at lots of places....if your senior fo u can get the schedules u want, pick up extra trips, while the junior capts on smaller aircraft sit on reserve and make guarantee.

I have a more senior fo buddy.in two recent months he got about 270 credit hours...and he did not outbase.

At my last airline, fo base on smaller plane was $33k. My buddy, as junior fo, on the smaller plane, made $11.5 one month.

I think line guarantee is essential, and I think we will get it in the next contract.
