Hey are you guys weight restricted on your ACK-EWR flights? Going to be out there for a few days visiting friends who made smarter career decisions than me and just trying to figure out my different options to get home/back to work... Thanks!!

Take airways through DCA. Never have jumps and never are restricted.

CommutAir is weight restricted if they want to taxi around the apron for five minutes. Take JetBlue to JFK and the State Shuttle for $15 to Newark if you need to get there.

XJT used to fly these routes out of EWR....could take 50 plus 2 jumps every time in or out. I miss that overnight, it was a good one!

Where'd u guys stay? I do a lot of 135 in and out of there and they usually have us at the Inn across the street from the airport.

If its a 300 you should be fine. If its a 200... what everyone else said.

Q300, you're good (plus 2 jumpseats). If it's a -200, it gets weight restricted quite a bit. Only one commuter from there that I'm aware of.

Do you guys allow off line pilot Jumpseaters to occupy the 2nd FA Jumpseat as well as the FD Jumpseat? At PDT, our company won't allow anyone to occupy the rear FA Jumpseat on the -300's.

Officially or unofficially? ;)

Same here but you could rent bikes and go into town, go to the beach etc. I enjoyed it.
