I'd like to pick up trips on my off days to make more money, either through open time or trip trades. My understanding is that with the new contract, this is now possible on reserve (previously you didn't get paid or something?)
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)?

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.

Is it possible to get hired with only pt 135 turbo prop experience? I’m wondering if it’s worth going to get my own CTP and ATP written done now that the minimums are 500 turbine and ATP written only. I have 1000 turbine and 430 turbine pic. Has anyone heard of people getting hired without 121 time recently?

Since when? Something doesn’t add up here, why would they pay premium when you’re assignable and on call anyways? On days off, that would makes sense. Never did LCR, but maybe I should if that’s the case haha.
