LGA v PHL for new hire
Old guy here so I anticipate getting an early pick of equipment/base when I go to class in Jan. Seems like the trend is LGA 737, LGA 320, and PHL 190 are always available. I would be commuting with 12 daily non stop flights to LGA and 6 daily non stops to PHL. Anyone have any thoughts on which jet would be better for a new hire to quickly get a line/minimize the pain of being a new hire? Thanks in advance.

PHL 100% over LGA for a commuter. LGA has early starts, late finishes and you have to cover the 3 airports. Plus when the weather gets bad that place is insane.
I’d go PHL no doubt about it.

Movement on the E-190 is fast and that is probably the fastest way to holding a line. We were not currently taking Airbus deliveries but are still getting some 737s. There's movement in both fleets but there will be more in the 737 as the deliveries replace the MD80. DFW MD-80 may be offered as well. You'd likely be on that until October then you can displace into any position that has someone junior to you.

Lots of shuttle flying (DCA, BOS, LGA) mixed in with short legs on the east coast. A few long flights to AUS, MSY, MSP and south Florida.
