That’s probably a true statement but not by much. You can pretty much hold reserve on any equipment in whatever base you want shortly after training.
My recommendation, avoid the 200 at all cost if you can. Reserve times are 7-10 months right now where you can hold a line a few weeks after training on the 9. Not sure if it’s ticked up a bit but they are training 900 pilots at what seems like 50-1 rate right now which means you will sit at the bottom of the reserve grid and on airport ready for the foreseeable future. Then when you do get a line you can expect 45-55 hours of block per month vs 75 or higher on the 9. The goal for most is 1000 hours 121/turbine and then upgrade or move on. If that’s you then fight for the 9!

Do we get placed into CASS and get jumpseat privileges as soon as we start ground training? Or do we have to wait until we’ve completed IOE before we’re eligible to jumpseat on other carriers?
Also, does Known Crewmember access start right away?

Yup. The additional $30k is a sliding scale based on your previous 121 hours, not necessarily DEC.
See:

Take their flow time with a grain of salt - somebody who has been with the company 4 years has a projected flow of 24-27 months, new hire 28 months? Not sure how that math works!
