- no night override/ international pay
- would likely be bottom rsv guy
If I do it, do I want to be Boston or JFK based? (Commute is about the same.)
Very on the fence. I’m a family guy at heart and think this flying stuff is for the birds, (I fly min schedule) However, a normal sleep schedule is appealing.
Discuss.
Did that transition myself. I never realized just how permanently fatigued I was until I got to the 190 and had a semi-normal wake/sleep schedule.
I'd give it a few bids until you could at least be a senior 190 RSV CA, or junior line holder, then you'll at least have options when you make the jump. BOS is the base to chose for 190. Much bigger 190 base than JFK.
