You will get 300/week..UNLESS the max cap is less than that.
Drives me nuts when people, particularly guest commentators on news channels who are fully aware that they are lying, make statements about what a gravy train unemployment is.

New Jersey, btw pays 60% of wages, capped at $713/week. Add in the $600/week government unemployment and you've got $5200/mo on unemployment.

You’re still EWR based is my understanding and provided we don’t give it up in a MOU should still be obligated rooms. We can opt to self report to IAD or take the deadheads from/to EWR. Which would make more sense to have IAD people do the flying if we are trying to save money. But I just press buttons.
