As far as not building a lot of time as a junior lineholder, I think it depends on your base, bidding preferences, etc. I know some junior pilots that bid max credit and are getting lines with 90 hours a month. Of course, they only get 12-13 days off a month. We would all like a 90 hour line with 17 days off but that's not realistic right now. So you gotta make a choice between working a lot 0r having more days off.
I am IAH based, and I’m not at the bottom of the list. Still can’t get anywhere near 90 hours. And I only get 12 days off.
