Totally depends on your preference. The pay is about 10% lower.
It's more of a regional schedule with some longer NE to FL legs thrown in. Also some Carib flying mixed in here and there. But generally you see more legs per day at :45-1:30 duration.
The plane isn't as comfortable as the airbus. Say what you want about the Airbus, you can't deny it's a comfortable workspace. The 190 not so much.
You can move to the bus whenever you want. JB has a 2 year aircraft lock so unless you switched the the 190 and want to switch back there are no issues.
