As of May bids the Airbus has all three airports to cover.
EWR is officially on the roster. The New Jersey and PA pilots may like it.

Expensive transportation costs, hotels, multiple airports to cover, expensive places to live, traffic, and a host of other things make it a real headache of a base. It will continue to get more and more junior. Add to all the troubles the new PBS bids and a junior pilot will not get any weekends off.

Just look at how junior MD88 Captain goes at Delta. I don't think AA will get that junior but close. The fact it is an MD88 is part of it.
