How much flight time can a new 175 F/O expect
Hello everyone!
I was interested to see how much flight time a new 175 F/O can expect to accrue in their first year. I know this depends on base and whether you hold a line or not. I would most likely start out in LGA or ORD and I would like to get to Denver ASAP whether it’s holding a line or just being on reserve. Just looking for an approximation is all. I know it’s a moving target.
Thanks,
Duckman

West Coast reserves (LAX, SFO, SAN) aren't getting much, and SEA probably extremely low amounts...the occasional 4 day trips are being assigned but typically locals and low credit 2 days from what an FO recently told me. Out East (ORD, LGA, DEN)...not sure but I'd imagine it is probably a little better for those guys.
You could obviously increase your hours if you pick up trips on your off days.

I barely flew the first 4 months on reserve. One month I had 10 hours. Then, still on reserve, the flood gates opened up and I got called 75% of the time. It varies based on staffing and season, but if you want to fly a lot pick a base where you can hold a line quicker.
Or go CRJ.
