I'm on the 7ER (757/767 international), based in NYC. In 2.5 years of being based there with both a line and on reserve, I've done 1 trip out of LGA, none out of EWR, the rest being out of JFK. I'm very junior on the airplane.
My crashpad is near JFK, so I've lucked out. Others will probably correct me, but from what I've seen the M88 folks seem to have more LGA than anything, but some JFK as well. Not much EWR either. The 737 seems to be almost all JFK, maybe a bit of LGA, not much EWR either.
There are inexpensive cab companies and shuttles than go between the airports, so that's not too bad. It seems like most M88 pilots have crashpads closer to LGA, so it's easier to get there.
