- The commute is not bad. In the past year I've made 1st/2nd attempt every time.

- For those who said "best line soonest" have they been to EWR? No thanks. I'll take IAH all day long. With the mil retirement (like me) QOL is much better.

- Pitfall on the crappy RJs: weight restriction. Not seen out of ATL but have seen lots of bros affected out of other cities.

- I APU lots of trips and assignments (short calls) to make life better. Yes, I have 12 days off/month. It's more like 15-16 with the way I manage APU.

Cheers.
