I did 2-1/2 months of reserve on the 737 in EWR in 2015 when we were hiring rapidly.


IAD is the other nearby domicile but fewer flights, less growth, higher seniority levels, and a smaller base all work against you. ORD is more senior.


I did the crashpads at the Country Inn & Suites. Inexpensive and I didn't spend a lot of time there as I was a lineholder.
