I'm R-ATP, so I have maybe 1,200-1,300 more to go. Enjoying the ride so far, upgrade will happen when it happens, that's for later.

How long have you been with the company, just out of curiosity?

My personal hunch is the guys who are in the FO positions that sat reserve the longest are the most likely ones to have to bypass because of not having 1000 company (which can be waived) or 1000 121 SIC/135/91(K) PIC, which isn't able to be waived.

Yeah, I'm just trying to keep my block in the range of 80/month or so, but living in base makes it really easy to tack on days of work and really push the credit up.

If you get creative with partial adds & trades, you can get the block up. But it takes lots of looking at Flica.

I did the same in addition to just wanting some better trips. I'm 3 months behind you and was surprised at the number of people who was awarded the 900 especially in DTW and MSP.

How much better are 900 schedules compared to the 200?
I'm getting decent seniority quickly on the 200, but trips are hit and miss for block/credit.

Just looking through the trips awarded in PBS it seems like most people we're crediting between 80-90hrs and had at least 15 days off. I do enjoy the 200 flying but the schedules are garbage. My last trip we had LGA flying which is fine by me but everyday we sat for at least 3hrs somewhere.

I'm crediting 80 with 14 off in May on the 200. I think around 65 block.
Figured I'd stick on the 200 until I can get a comparable line in base then consider it.

The 200 is also nice for commuters as you can get trips that have a late show and early release on the last day. That being said the trips are always changing, thats just what I have seen.
