Can someone give me a ballpark average for hours flown on a given day? Maybe an estimate for when on reserve and also when holding a regular line? Trying to get an estimate for what I can expect to fly in a year, on average. I really need to get my TT up. Thanks.

but, if they continue to have problems with short staffing, the positive space helps. By positive spacing your pilots, there is likely a significantly less percentage that miss trips due to full flights. Or at least I would think so. Just a thought.

I bid down to reserve and fly as little as I can right now. Spend as much time with my kids as possible.
I flew 255 hours in 2019, 256 in 2020, and 200 so far this year.
But my first year here I flew about 550.

If you get the 200 you'll be seatlocked and won't be able to go to NYC for 18 months. If you're on reserve most stretches are around 3-5 days at a time (usually 4-5). Trips for Jr people are usually 4 days. Most Jr people can't consistently hold 5 day trips because they have a higher credit value than most 4 days right now.
I want to be sure I am reading this right, LGA is only on the 900?
Second, do you bid equipment or base first?

Reserve on the 900 with people trying to fly looks like 30-40 hours a month right now but YMMV. Seems like everyone is going to the 900 lately but don't count on it.

I'm not sure how bidding goes these days but you'll absolutely know what aircraft you're on within the first 2 weeks because you go to aircraft specific training after indoc.
