3. Would you describe the trips – mostly 3-4 day or fair mix? Any cool flying you look forward to?
4. Is the EMB CA in NYC the most junior Captain position companywide?
Thank you very much.
There are 85 EMB FOs for May. It fluctuates though there were 120 in March with a lot of the LA TDY guys.
LGA gets 25 EMB and 30 CRJ departures a day. JFK gets 21 EMB and 6 CRJ departures a day.
LGA is the only airport with day trip lines. They have a couple which are usually XNA turns and some 4 leg day trips. Most of the JFK flying goes through other airports and doesn't return to JFK every other leg. A lot of the JFK flying is done by MIA and ORD.
JFK EMB is the current junior captain but there will be a vacancy out on the 6th. It will probably still be the junior base but no one knows if it will be EMB or CRJ.
