I believe I read on one of these threads SEA has lots of availability compared to other bases.
How abundant are extra trips? And how likely am I to credit way above guarantee? (100+ hours) Also how does this work with line bidding (before yall switch to PBS)?
I have been hitting 90-100 hrs pay each reserve month on short call with what they assign me.
There are quite a few premium trips in open time on the FO side. It ebbs and flows based on the amount of snow in Seattle and staffing levels. You honestly may not be legal to pick up anything more.
Long call pilots can request to pickup premium time during their reserve days and the premium will be paid on top of their guarantee.
Not sure I understand your last question. You will have a pre-built reserve line that is awarded from bidding, with days on and off within that line.
