QOL will be much better your first year on the 190, but the flying in the bus is probably better (less work, more variety, but redeyes and fumes). And going to JBU for a month in the transition was a drag. Given your proximity to EWR, I’d be looking for a bus type rating for your UAL app and not having to go back to Orlando for a month for a transition. It’s worth a little longer reserve and some redeyes to me, but only you can make that decision.
Thanks. You summarized all of my exact thoughts.
I guess we’ll see what the class drop looks like....
