All I’m saying is while you are working to get the 120 hours of credit I’m sitting at home and working 3-4 days a month as a senior FO on reserve getting close to 100 hours of credit.
Your math is still off. I’m only ACTUALLY flying total 77 average hour per month INCLUDING the OT I pick up and crediting an average of 120-130 hours a month. I’m also getting 12-13 days on average at home (that I can’t be called in for).
You’re obviously not at LGA either because the most senior FO on reserve in LGA is seniority 1770 something (probably hired 6-8 months after me) and getting used for stby or flying regularly. So if I bid a reserve line in LGA I’d spend more days AT work for much less credit hours being called in all the time.
Not only is your math off, but you’re also comparing different bases with much different usage of reserve bodies. I’m guessing your base, senior FO’s on reserve won’t get called in at all hence the desire to bid a reserve line.
That all being said I don’t quite understand why you feel the need to disparage someone for wanting to uograde and get some PIC jet time and move on to other things? Not everyone is locked in to flowing to AA that works at Envoy, there’s a whole wide world of different options for employment. If you personally plan to sit at home on reserve and cherry pick OT on your days off then good for you, I’d rather be doing that on CA’s wages if I’m going to be called in to sit STBY anyway at LGA.
