I know YMMV, but can anyone out there provide a rough estimate of how many hours someone can expect to accrue in a year on reserve on each of the WB's and NB"S?
Thanks!
The 500 hours is a contractual limit on UAL aircraft. You also must have combination totaling 1000 hours of the following:
1000 hrs SIC on UAL aircraft
1000 hrs PIC/SIC 121
1000 hrs PIC 135/91K
1000 hrs TPIC FW Mil (multi-crew) (max 500 hrs credit)
The 500 hours in a year isn’t an issue on NB aircraft as your time on reserve is very short unless you are choosing to bid it. WB…. YMMV, but unlikely to get that in a year, maybe 1.5 years.
