Thanks!

It goes EXTREMELY senior... A new guy might get a chance to be a matrix instructor and the 15 years later get a chance to be a sim guy.

I take it the 900 trips go pretty senior out in ORD. Would that be a good assumption?

Yes. A few of them are high credit locals like SLC turns. You have to be pretty senior to hold things like that.

I bid around 70% and I've never flown the 900 and have only been awarded a 700 trip by PBS one time.

Whatever gives you the easiest commute or cheapest crash pad. Both bases have about the same reserve time and the junior lineholders in both bases will fly almost all 200.

Quick question, still a little confused on that seat lock. So when the Delta 200's are gone I'm presuming that MSP will close. At that time, at the end of next year, I'd be just shy of 2 years, would the seat lock prevent me from bidding for the E175 in ORD at that time?

Alright thanks, still trying to figure all this out.
