Eww newark. I prefer to stay the hell away from the nyc cluster **** as much as possible especially when commuting. We are doing ord gso and iad gso turns and a ron starting in September also I actually have a gso overnight in my line for September. pretty psyched about it. Without the home basing, a gso ron every now and then is the best I can hope for weather at rah or tsa, cept at tsa I have seniority and cancellation pay.
From what ive heard, no cancellation pay on the q is brutal, its a pretty cool airplane but a bit of a hanger queen and ive also heard both ual and rah hate them and want to be rid of them because the performance issues aren't worth the amazing fuel savings
But I know nothing about anything beyond our walls that isnt second hand hand rumor or read from here so that means I pretty much know nothing at all on the subject.
I do love riding on the q's though. The dash 8 is a man's airplane and the Q400 is a mans airplane with a modern touch. I wouldn't mind flying them if circumstances were different.
