I'm 50% seniority on the 757 in EWR and I get about 6 trips per month. I hold about 13 days off. Some 2 day trips and some 3 day. I avoid one day trips. On reserve you will have to be within two hours of the airport. If you're coming from the West coast, you'll probably going to need a crashpad. I'm from the SF Bay Area and I moved. I live 1.5 hours from EWR in N.E. PA.
