How much extra flying can realistically be picked up as a first year FO?

I have never been awarded an open trip during reserve proffering, and I have never not proffered for every open trip that ends w/in my reserve footprint. 10 months.
Sitting in base trying to pick up OT on days off may be easier. |
So reserve time on the OFL slot should be relatively short? (3 months or so)

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk How that plays out in terms of timeframe I am unsure, however things are moving pretty quick around ORD so you might not be far off. |

The top of the list right now, taking out the two that are senior and will be upgrading shortly, is a 2074 seniority number with the bottom being a 2390.

I started the end of May and got 175 ORD. I could have held a composite in Nov. i bid reserve instead to get Thanksgiving off. Just found out I got Christmas off too. I cant complain.

Have you been actively avoiding flying then?
Shouldn't you hold a line easily at 10 months? (Filler).... |

8-30 hours per month is a reasonable range.

30 being the very high end of reasonable. I think most FO's, depending on base of course, can easily pick up 10-15 hours if they try. However, with some hard work, trip trading, asking for peoples trips and getting lucky that number can go up.
It all depends on your seniority too. Junior guys would have a much harder time picking up good OT. The original response said "it depends" which is absolutely correct but kinda vague and wasn't help to the question. Pretty sure we all know "it depends" can be the answer for almost every question people ask on here. |
