Thanks for the info guys.
I see the guarantee on the X side is 14 days a month - how easy is it to bid over and get awarded more? Is 18 days a month feasible as a junior FO?
Also, a buddy of mine sent over a hiring pamphlet from a few months back and it says $30,000 signing bonus on it. I've been unable to find any other reference to this anywhere so I assume it's old or only for those with certain experience. There is not a hiring bonus for a non-ATP FO on the X side, right?

I know how much JS pilots make and I know how much they work a month. If you think you’ve reached the pinnacle you haven’t been paying attention.
