Yep....I was one of them. Timed out at just a hair under 1200 each year for three straight years. Usually happened at the end of November. The Air Midwest Crew schedulers tried EVERYTHING to "change" the hour figures throughout the month of December since everyone was timing out. All the Junior Assignments that they rammed down my throat throughout the year came back to them as I sat in my living room each Christmas for 3 years straight. The bright side to all this crazy flying was that by the 4'th year, I had all the Turbine PIC I ever needed & made the jump to Southwest. Flew 970 hours last year at LUV with 14-16 days per month off and didn't even really pick up much. If I had not had a couple of sick calls, I would have timed out there as well. Go figure.
