SS is unpredictable. A few years ago you could get in right away, recently the awards were a couple years senior for FOs. It’s a program I wouldn’t suggest as you will be out the full 16-17 days, flying close to guarantee but not over. So you’re working the most for not a whole bunch of money.
Myself, I prefer to work as little as possible for the guarantee, and if needed, taking OT to really make the extra cash. Right now it’s not advised to take OT for many reasons.
