I wouldn't say easily, especially for a new hire. There wasn't much OT in October, and probably less in November. The reserve grid doesn't go green very often, either. I think you are painting a rather optimistic picture of what it's like on the bottom of reserve here.

I'm not sure if "easily" properly describes the process to get to 120+ credit per month as a reserve. Definitely do-able, but one would have to pick up high-value trips from open time and the trade board and work a 6-on 2-off or 6-on 1-off schedule. Even being near the top of the short call ranks and bidding first-out isn't enough to get much flying right now, so one cannot expect to break the 75-hr reserve guarantee on assignments received on reserve days.

Being able to drop reserve days and pick up higher credit flying to replace the dropped days would help, but reference aforementioned issues with the reserve grid rarely being green.

Crediting 120-130 hrs on reserve as NYC 900 FO is definitely do-able for the few motivated enough to do it, I'm just not sure I'd call it "easy." Maybe I just haven't done enough truly difficult things in my life

Same for 900 CA in NY. 120-130h on Reserve. It's difficult enough..

It’s easy to do if you live in base/tri state area Also works if you live in other bases. Bid a 6 on 1 off schedule in pbs and pickup 2 of the numerous trips in open time on the 18th. En duo only working 12-15 days a month. Commuters... fuggedaboutit.

As a low ssn cjo holder,is there any update in regards to 900 training?

900 training is just under 3 months from indoc to completion of IOE

That's a moving Target right now. The rollout of dynamic scheduling has not gone well. Assuming it evens out it should be pretty quick. But this recent new hire and upgrade class sat a lot. Probably just working there bugs out.

But for anyone wondering... Dynamic scheduling sucks.

That stinks! It seemed like such a good idea with the ability to move pilots around and promised more flexibility. I wonder what is causing it. Hopefully just growing pains. The idea of it seemed really promising

Not sure about the 900, but June new hires on the 200 are currently getting called for IOE.

There is no training delay on the 900... start to finish 3 months.
