Due to the bid groups, “junior” rosters don’t exist. Roughly the work is spread out evenly every month and if you are in the top or middle bid group your monthly bids for things like specific trips or days off _should_ be more successful. There’s some discrepancy with bid groups on the 350 as they are so short in the RHS that rostering often have to ‘unlock’ the bids in order to fill the flying program.
A quick look at a low seniority 350 FO roster for next month shows 5 trips, 4x one nights to ATL and LOS, 1x two-night to MCO and 15 days off. No idea what this person actually bid for.
The best way to pick up extra coin on the 350 is just shifting trips forward or back a day or two and taking the disruption payments for what would have been your days off. Is it easy? Extremely.
