Long call is given out based on staffing, and how many days you are available for. 6days availability = more chance of getting LCR. You must have at least 4 days of RSV to be eligible for LCR. LCR is fairly common in the Sept-Feb timeframe when flying is slow. 1-2 days of LCR at the beginning of a 6day stretch is common during the winter. You probably wont get it at all during the summer months. I dont think there is much difference between the 190/320 in terms of LCR, but maybe someone else can post opinions on that.

Tough call. Jetblue and VX both have equal chances of not existing in a few years. I'd say things are slightly more promising at jetblue as far as profitability goes, but I wouldnt blame you for going either direction.
