E190 CA vs A320 FO
Love all the non JBpilots throwing their input around.
I just made the switch recently. I live in base. I have only had 1 month where I didn’t earn some sort of EPS or EMA pay. Because of that there is no way to make up the pay difference as a bus FO without picking up some major time. However the extra pay only lasts as long as we are understaffed. Also the EPS rules get gutted for RSV pilots in Jan 2020.
The guys I know who upgraded on the bottom of the list in BOS are being abused hard! Routinely breaking guarantee and being called pretty much every day. No way I would commute to rsv. Wait a few bids. The 190CA seat is moving quickly and you will probably be able to hold a line if you wait 6 months.
As much as I hated the red eyes on the bus, the 3-4 leg 12 hours days with a short 10-12 hour overnight for 4 days straight can start to get pretty brutal as well. Especially if they are all 5-6am reports.
