well at this point i'd fly just about anything... i'm 27 now so i dont imagine i'd have enough senority in my class to bid anything but the 200.
thanks for all your help!!!
IMO, at age 27, you will probably be in the mid-range age in your class. I would echo the same advice as others have posted. You will likely get the 200 regardless of how you bid. Just remember, If you bid the 700 and get it, you will spend nearly a year on reserve. If you get the 200, you will probably spend 3 months on reserve. As spring and summer roll around, schedules will pick up and you should be able to hold a hard line. I've been at ASA for a year, and I am holding weekends off finally. Good Luck!
