I am a dude awaiting my start date and trying to build my house of cards for a bid. I am going to be commuting for at least the next several years. Given that nobody seems to want to go to NYC it makes sense to me to try and bid for there to reap some of the seniority benefits. Only problem is from my commuting airport (STL) it is almost all Delta Connections. Contrast that with commuting to ATL, it is all mainline. Is it better to just stick with the mainline than to risk trying to get on the jumpseat of an RJ?
TIA
Don't forget you also have AA and SWA between STL and LGA. In a pinch, you can take United to EWR. Obviously it's more desirable to commute on mainline because of the JS reservation, but there are plenty of options to get to LGA as well.
