Getting EWR is super easy.

It used to be that we were forcing all new hires to EWR and they were all trying to get to other bases. Most of that was a result of post-merge when the United bases were opened up and all of a sudden there are bases all over the country so pilots bailed out of EWR as fast as possible.

Then after they forced enough people in there, the company decided to back off flying in IAH and ramp up ORD, IAD, and SFO so those bases have had a lot of new flying pushed to them. EWR isn't going anywhere. It was a base for both legacies for decades.

EWR should be a piece of cake to get.
