Not that pay s unimportant but I am looking for the greatest QOL meaning more time home as we have a daughter due next month. What other factors would some of you JetBlue guys consider in bidding aircraft?

Thanks for any info. While I'm at it, what is training like these days, length of time, opportunity to travel home, etc. Thanks
Bid the e190. First year pay is the same on both fleets and a line holder on either aircraft makes more money period. After year 2 bid the bus bos where by then you could hold a line. If you bid the '320 you will be commuting to reserve for at least 6 months.
