Maybe reserve life is better on the Guppy. But regarding the Bus in EWR, there hasn't been much to pick up other than the LGA trips no one wants. The Bus does A LOT of LGA flying (around 40% of the trips). I don't volunteer for LGA trips, as getting there from PA is a Charley Foxtrot most of the time. So as far as "making my own line", that's not really feasible. And I can't remember the last time I broke guarantee on reserve. First world problems, I know.
