Yikes... who would want to be rsv plug at 1500 seniority without knowing anything regarding trip quality, or even just remotely close to the bottom. Kiss any good vacation weeks or holidays goodbye for a long time. But then again, to each his own and every situation is different for every pilot... whatever floats your boat!

Not sure why you think he's making it up based on what he said.

Some people are willing to take the two year risk to see what happens I guess. Roll the dice and maybe the A220 life ends up being great. Worse case you cut your losses and return to your previous position. Two years in the airline world goes quickly. It really only took a small number of senior guys to bid it and make it senior initially. This wasn’t a 500 pilot bid.
yeah...2 years commuting to short call reserve after 6 weeks of training at the lodge...no big deal lol.

Well no...your freeze begins when you start Home Study. By the time you wait for OE with only a few A220’s flying around in the system, your time on the line will should be less than two years if you want it to be. If all you’re accustomed to at #1500 are redeyes on the weekend, the risk might be worth it. There’s also some that sit reserve by choice and live in base and yes those that’ll immediately regret their decision.

soooo what is it. 900? 1500? 1600? 4000? Or is it safe to assume that like 12 people actually know and none of them are most likely at liberty to say?

I don't consider "barely into the thousand" much different than 1,500-1,600.
I definitely don't think he made it up or pulled it out of his Lift Award...

No, it's not. It's also not 2,000~ like probably most expected as evidenced by people being astounded that someone at 1,500-1,600 would choose to be the plug.
That was his interpretation/characterization of what his source told him. That doesn't mean he made it up, and maybe his source was intentionally vague.
Not sure why you have to so abrasive with everyone, all the time.
