I am leaning towards NY MD-88 is order to hold a line quickly. My wife has a well paying job, so income is not critical to the decision. Any arguments for selecting JFK ER instead?
Every pick comes down to your personal needs, but believe me, your personal needs will take a back seat to your ego when the time comes. If you're in NY then I wouldn't worry about holding a line. I'd be looking at a way to not beat the crap out of yourself (i.e. up-down-up-down-up-down...welcome to the shuttle). If you manage your reserve line on the 7ER you can work less than a shuttle guy (that is be home more). 18 days on reserve can turn into 14 with green slips. If you pass on the ER and you don't like the 88 and the spots fill up, your stuck. If you take the ER and don't like it, I guarantee you'll get the 88 on the next bid. Give the ER a shot. Budapest, Spain, Italy, Moscow, Brazil, etc. YGTBSM!! Are you smoking crack.
Anyway...did I say it was a matter of personal preference? Bid what you want and want what you bid.
