What is it about that place? Just seeing that picture makes me depressed. I don't understand why it is that way for me. I've never had any trouble or difficulty there, but it gives me dread.

Don't count greenslips until you get one. A couple years ago I averaged 2 a month for the year. Even got picky and restricted the first one to 2+ days. The past 2 years I've had 3-4 total.
The trips on the 75/76 are way better, and actually on reserve you'll fly better trips than a junior lineholder. Pretty much true system wide, the bottom lineholders get the worst trips and can't get rid of them. You'll be somewhat less abused on the bottom of the ER. If you can pull up some schedules, check the bottom few guys in each category, look at the trips they are assigned and the # days worked.
Having said all that, you should probably go to the 88. It's a matter of time before you get displaced from a piece of equipment where you're the plug. I've been displaced 4 times, the walk of shame to the training dept sux.

Sorry for the 20 questions here...
Assuming your new-hire seat lock is over, if you were to be displaced are you then seat locked in the displacement plane? Does your pay drop substantially during training from your previous guarantee? If you are displaced in November, but then able to hold it again in April would you have to do the entire er school again?

I have never broken the code on training pay during a month with a long school. I've always been surprised by either how much or how little it was. You don't have much control over pay hours during transition training. Thank you,sir may I have another?

Your pay during training will not drop substantially. Probably not at all. It might even go up. (assuming you were on reserve)
You do not have to do school over again for an airplane you have been off for less than a year. Generally just a couple days of sims if you can demonstrate proficiency. A warm up day and a check ride. Pretty low key if you prepare. If you need a little more sim time then they will give it to you.

A white slip is a request to pick up extra flying at regular pay.
The terms "green slip" and "white slip" are left over from the days before computers when the requests were submitted to the crew schedulers on actual pieces of colored paper.

Was told today that 300 is the current "approved" amount of new hires but expect that number to change to 600 upon approval. Probably happen this summer or early fall. The way it was described is it's not an if but a when. And it should continue...
