The commute is rough. We/I used to fly 737's on this route, but the EMB-170's took it over. We have some very senior commuters out of JAX that get the jumpseat. As in senior I mean 737 check airmen that were hired in late 1980's. Some of the times, they will drive to Orlando (MCO) to catch a flight out of there to get to EWR.

MCO is way easier to commute out of (I've been doing it for 8 years) because there are no RJ's on this route and we have Jetblue as a backup for a straight shot into EWR. On average a total of 12 flights a day between us and Jetblue. Just food for thought.
