If you are in the 7ER out of JFK, would it be wiser to be closer, or is close to LGA do-able...?
Astoria would be fine. Anywhere in Queens would be fine. Lots of places outside of Queens would be fine.
You just have to be "promptly available" considering normal traffic conditions while on short call, and that is generally interpreted to be about 2 hours. If you are based in NYC, that can be to the closest of JFK, LGA, or EWR.
LGA to JFK by cab can take anywhere from 15 minutes to infinity, depending on traffic.
You have 12 hours on long call.
