In JFK, on the 76, it will be a commercial DH to the Jet on day one and from the jet on the last day. This is because we have no operating flights out of JFK... for now. You can get ALT travel between your home and the Jet and not have to Gateway to or from JFK on your off days.

On the 74, expect to operate from JFK on Day 1, meaning you need to Gateway in the day prior on your off day. Once on the road, expect multiple schedule changes and be surprised when you fly your entire pattern as planned. Where your last operating leg lands is anyones guess, but you will operate into or have a DH scheduled back to JFK on your last day... unless you get extended. With seniority, you may be able to start with a DH on Day 1. You can always bid secondary for extra days off and perhaps avoid Gateway Travel, but you have to be happy with minimum guarantee.
