Funny how I made a post a few weeks ago regarding how the right seat in the 200 is much better QOL wise with upgrade times and reserve times over the 700. A few day's ago ASA decided they needed 5 700 FO's so they took the 4 youngest from my class and another guy for the 700. I bid to keep the 200 (which my entire class had) then I was assigned the 700. I've done lot's of talking with some 700 pilots and the reserve time will be alot longer but they said at my age to enjoy the 700 and when 2 years or so comes around upgrade to the left seat on the 50. So here I am about to start sims next week and I have to finish all of the training through IOE then start 700 differances training at the end of January and switch over. Should be fun even though the reserve will be long. With the new contract in place hopefully we'll get some more 70's and maybe 900's. As mentioned before don't complain about your aircraft assignments because chances are it's alot better than where you are coming from. I hear we have more app's than they know what to do with so good luck to everyone that is applying.
