Picking up open time, asking scheduling to call me first, etc. Anything else you could suggest toward those ends would be greatly appreciated. I've got about 1100TT at the moment.

)90 plus is easy. i have had 93 and 94 hour lines all year. and right now fo pick up is paid at 150 percent so i am sure there will be plenty to do when you get on the line.

You can bank on 100 hours of credit (pay) and 95 hours (at least) if you want to fly. The 150% is available- some say its helping the company- its up to you. I get enough flying with what I am awarded and while 150% is tempting, I enjoy some golf and time with the lady. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I never broke guarantee FWIW on rsv and if I can give you just one bit of advice its this- READ THE CONTRACT- its not the best contract but there is alot of stuff that can't be done legally that they will try to do. O- and NEVER answer your phone if you are not on duty or on reserve. They WILL leave a voicemail, if you are interested in what they have call back- otherwise its a JM call and those are never good. They can't/won't do anything if you don't answer. Did I mention not answering the phone?
