Just a lesson for everyone:
The most junior lineholder in the company is a 900 fo. A few months back everyone on here was giving advice that the fastest way to a line was to bid 200 in new hire training, which while true for 200 drivers at that particular moment in time ended up not being true for new hires who still had 3-5 months of training left. Shows how fast things change in this industry and how the person 4 months ahead of yours experience is likely far different than what your experience will be.
My advice for everyone is to get with your friends/person who referred you to the job and gave them help you decide what might be the best plane to bid for in your situation. A thoughtful look at the pbs awards, vacancy awards and seniority list can help one predict where movement will take place. Right now, I predict all the movement in the next 6-9 months will be on the 900... almost all 200 fos are under seat locks for the next 5-18 months.

Now its the same freaking type jet, only one flies more per day, gives you snacks and food, has all the water you can drink, credits more, and more days off per lineholder and the apu works.

The greatest airplane ever built. History will show that it was the original plane designed by the Wright brothers but they decided it would be too great to reveal as the original Wright Flyer so they dumbed things down until humanity would be ready for it's incredible awesomeness.
