As a new hire NB FO you can expect:
Cant drop trips, can’t trade trips (except directly with another pilot), 87-90 hour line with 13 days off.
And that’s after you get off reserve, during which you will be converted to shortcall/FSB ad nauseum. You will drive 4 hours to SFO for a field standby, and upon arrival immediately get released into rest for an early AM short call the next morning.
