You'll have a block much sooner out East with a joint bid maybe by the end of 2015 it'll go by quick.
Great responses, guys, thanks.
Why do you say that, FreighterGuy? I was thinking I could safely (I'm very conservative about this stuff) sit at home with a 2hr flight and 9-10 flights/day, realizing that there is a possibility of awkwardness if I got a min. call out in the evening in advance of the next day's flying, depending on flights remaining in the evening. I'm sure I'd have to position myself occasionally, but was thinking I could stick at home for LC, many times. My current company has multiple bases, and theoretically has long call, but they've never built any lines, so it's new to me.
As far as the 190, I've been doing regional flying for 15yrs. I'm done flying short legs for a bit.
I'm so ready to sit in indoc. and listen to "Welcome aboard!" 30-70 times, you have no idea!
