Essentially, the 200 is more work for less money. More legs per trip, usually. Shorter legs. I have credited over 8 hours per day on the 700 a few times, and probably average 6 hours per day when I fly. On the 200, I probably averaged 4.5 per day when I flew the 200. I had a few 7 leg days on the 200. Most I have had on the 700 is 5, but with higher credit.

Another opportunity for "management" to hand pick a focus group of suck ups who will tell them this company rules, they are the best and brightest, and we are on the right track with all of their wise decisions. Said suck ups then become the crop of latest line pilots to get pulled offline with 6hr/day for "special projects" in the GO, since most of the current crop are moving on.

Half the group members selected by management, the other half random. If they really wanted honest ideas, they wouldn't be stacking 50% of the deck. What a bunch of buffoons.

This is the most candidly honest assessment I've read in a while. Though brutally honest, it's completely true. Very funny and nicely played. Kudos to you sir!

They have the results from "have your say"or whatever that survey on Brad's update. All I can say is, they either rigged the results or everyone at this company other than the people I know must be high on coolaid

It is very dependant on which aircraft, which base and which reserve period. Flying varies from under 10 hours per month to over 80 per month.

Under 10 a month? Where? I'm a ATL 200 FO and I'm sitting on 55hrs. It is the 12th. And here I was thinking long call would be better.
