Would that be a good pitch for it?

you won’t know until you try. They may be getting 92 hour lines now, but that isn’t always the case. I remember years where 72 was good. If you didn’t bid the conflicts, you didn’t eat. A guaranteed 100 and cherry picking the 20 hrs you’d like isn’t a bad gig.

as a pretty senior FO, you’re in a good position to ask the senior CA’s you’re already flying and familiar with.
There’s also the occasional FO who lives near DFW and never plans to leave Envoy. Too old to flow and start over. They’d be a good grab too.
