Everyone has to play a different game depending on where they are on the seniority list.

Anyway junior Captain has been great, my only complaint is not getting to choose my overnights, but that will come.

Not necessarily. I made within 5% of what I would have as a junior Captain on reserve last year, but I had 80 days straight off over the summer, flew right around 600 hours, and my days worked were less than half the year overall. A lot of those days I was home by 9am on the last day. Being a senior FO I get the trips I want and makes IMAX crazy easy to do…and I’m a commuter.
To each their own!

Seen it many times, it is absolutely a thing. If you're a senior FO flying the bid as presented and not doing some extra work it won't though, you have to either do PM, MU/MO, PVDs, IMAX, or conflicts and more than likely you'll have to do a combination of all of them.

I’m enjoying being senior. No need for me to upset the apple cart to make the same(or less if getting min credit on LCR). I live too far away to chance it with SCR. I’ll probably wait on the upgrade until I can hold a line. It’s not terribly far off.
