I'm hoping the 12 NYC 200 CA spots go to new hires wanting to jump into the left seat right away, and I don't get a bunch of guys above me deciding to upgrade all of a sudden taking the 33 900 spots and getting stuck with a seat lock in that hot underpowered bucket for bolts for a year.
The 950 hours is just for purposes of awarding someone a captain position. Prior to 18-02 in order to be awarded a captain position you had to have the full 1,000 hours of 121 time. This does not mean that they are reducing the quals for the 900, you won't know till the initial award comes out but previous trends have shown that only the 200 have reduced quals but we will see.

You're right, just went back and looked at 18-02 and it had the exact same wording, but in the end they only reduced the time for 200 NYC CA.

You’ll still be pretty busy on the 900 if you’re New York based. I credited 95-100+ credit hours there regularly. It’s been hit and miss in ATL, more like 85-95 credit hours, with a lot of ready reserve thrown in too, can’t speak for Minneapolis or Detroit.

Thank you. I’m 200CA NYC, but think I might possibly get 900CA on 18-03. Just curious how much difference there was in flying.

It's hit or miss. They pour money on 200 CAs yet they just parked two of them. 200 CAs that are lineholders can make much more credits than a 900 RSV CA in NYC. I'll bet my Gophers tickets.

Has the union contemplated negotiating for commuter hotels? Seems to work for some other regionals. I hear a lot of complaints of un-commutable trips, it seems like it would be a nice benefit. Or would it lead just lead to no commutable trips?

Last time in RGS this question was asked and they said they put all their emphasis on putting the money into the rates. The pilot can decide what they use that money on, whether it be hotels or something else.
