I never took advantage of it because if I was going to come in on OT then I wanted more credit. But it does give an easy boost to total credit without much work. I had several friends take advantage of this. To each their own.

I guess I never familiarized myself with the critical coverage part of the contract. Never new it had a minimum credit application. But I'm guessing the reason I never familiarized myself with it... I've never seen critical coverage on a day I'm willing to work.

The main problem with the 145 is that it will take a lot longer to get to DFW if that's where you're going, and it will take a LOT longer to hold a line. I have been on reserve almost 10x as long as the people in my class who got OFL/DFL. We're talking part of a month versus years. We have some of the worst reserve rules in the regional industry for commuters.
On CDOs, you have to approach it from the perspective of a captain who lives in base and doesn't want to fly. It starts to make a lot of sense.

CDOs do make sense when you think about it that way. I like to fly, so they definitely aren't my thing.
