I live in central NJ, about 40 mins from EWR. UA seems the obvious choice due to the easy EWR drive but it seems like DAL may have better work rules. I have a young child at home and currently at corp where I get 15-18 days off a month. When I flew for the regionals I was good at "gaming" the system to maximize pay and QoL. I make around $270,000 (pay + retirement) now and getting back to that is important, but so is seeing my kid.
Been here 5 years and just upgraded on the 75/76. Live in Bucks county so add 15 minutes to your drives. Life is good. The Kennedy drive really isn’t that bad. I would try to get on the ER as you get to avoid LaGuardia and the flying is way way better. I bid reserve and prefer week days off so it works for me. PM me if you have any specific questions.
