First Year FO Hours

How much can a first-year CRJ FO can expect to fly their first year? I know there are multiple factors affecting this, but what's the ballpark?

Just kidding.
I'm on the 175 and when I started there were at some point 80 of us on reserve. Flew 319 hours on my first year. CRJ might get you a line way sooner, you can Rank up to 70-90 hrs / month easily

With training you’re probably looking at 500 to 600 your first year.

On the CRJ you can probably do better if you watch open time and pick up trips. I did a lot of that my first year here and made considerably more than people I went through class with. It just depends on if you want to do extra work to make the extra.

I started ground school in March 2017, finished sim in May. One month wait for IOE, was able to rack up 400 hours including 2 months on reserve. (DTW CRJ at the time)
