Just checked the lines you'd hold in LGA 320/737 or PHL 190. LGA is about 300 numbers more junior. You might hold a line immediately after training (junior company wide is 15,053. Junior line holder in LGA is 14,895. Early March new hire. Probably finished training in mid-late May. Line holder in June. That surprised me...until I looked at the trips. 0500 and 0630 departures out of EWR 2-3x per month. It's obvious those are the trips guys don't want to fly.
PHL E190 you'd better enjoy flying 3-5 legs per day. A lot of BOS-LGA-DCA or BOS-DCA flights. But it's one airport.

Wow, that's great info thanks. With those start times I imagine some are bypassing lines to stay on reserve. What is the junior long call in New York on 737 or AB?

FWIW
From the 6/30 flight dept hotline, I cut out the MD80 stuff:
"This report from Captain Greg Kunasek on the MD80s and E190s:
Flying on the E190 remains steady with 12 pilots attending transition training each month at the Charlotte Training Center, and an average of 22 pilots per month in recurrent training. Utilization of the single E190 simulator is usually at 90 percent or more each month. We’re approaching a time where the engines on the fleet must be replaced, so the current plan is to begin retiring the E190s in January of 2019 with the drawdown complete by October of that year.
The E190 continues to be one of our most reliable aircraft, from serving our New York Shuttle operation, to flights in Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts, Florida, and many points in between, as well as weekend service to Bahamas and Grand Cayman."

I will believe the 190s are gone, when they are actually gone.
Just like I believe we are getting a new airframe when it actually shows up.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we get more 190s or replace them with a similar a/c.
