Kew is a great choice if you know your main airports are LGA and JFK. Very safe neighborhood, great park, lots of places to eat, and excellent access to both airports. If you are new to the 717 I recommend you look at what the junior NYC guys are being assigned. My guess is an EWR pad might be better, but I haven't done the research to say that with any authority.

What good is 50% seniority in NYC if you can't get commutable trips? You might be more likely to get that as a junior lineholder in ATL.

Congratulations, very nice drop. The beauty of this drop vs. the all NYC drop is it is MUCH easier to AE from ATL to NYC than the other way around, if that is what you want to do.
