Some are very good deals and some are not. I look for the ones they put in open time with one to two legs from JFK to where I live (block in before 2300) with the second day a deadhead. I just drive home after we get in for 10:30 of pay working 1-2 hours block.

Other charters are interesting if you want a change of pace because you’re flying from and into non-standard airport locations.

they announced a few months ago that the gulf air birds were not going to the desert but instead being reconfigured for NFL charters.

depends. most of the team charters are in the middle of the night after games, i'm about 70% taking off late from the ones i've done and thats due to games going longer than expected. The food is usually really good, sometimes it's mediocre but it's always better than the delta catered meals in my experience.

January 7ER Fleet Newsletter, but I didn't read it to be that definitive. A few "most likely" will retire at their next heavy check instead of getting interior mods.

Current junior 7ER Capt is just a bit under 8000 and a March 2007 hire based in NYC. As big as this bid is combined with the fall of Intl flying on the ER I see junior ER Capt in NYC being one of the biggest shocks with a fall to 2010 or 2014 hire in the early 9000s range.

Our (NYC 73N) bid package is falling apart very rapidly. I'm top 10% and I can't get M-F commutable anymore. Once the NEOs show up it will get worse as they start taking over our best flying. The 737 is destined to become the next MD-90.
