Commutability sucked at 20% there

With 10-12 TRIPS not percent out of almost 600 total trips on the 320 commutable in NY it’s not a commuter friendly base. The only thing that keeps me there is there are other perks with seniority. Ive got a few bids in with percentage qualifiers. If I’m going to lose days on front or back ends of trips I might as well get paid $80 more per hour.

If it goes that high, beers on me (If you are on probation and flying with me)

I have NYC 220A and 717A in there. In reality I'm probably staying on the ER in the right seat. Just hoping to move off the bottom.

I had thought of going to 73 or 320 in NYC but the commutabilty sucks, even at 40%

IMHO the ability to significantly affect staffing this summer has come and gone. There will be little , if any, backfill on the 88. By the time they could train them it wouldn’t be worth it.

I'm early 14. I have it in....thinking about taking it out because there is a chance I'll end up with it.

I just deleted my 7ER A bid for the same reason. If I got it, I'd have to fly the trips.

If you live in NYC or have a easy commute might be a fun gig for 2 years even being on RSV. Especially if you get Int'l trips. Crazy times we're living in that it's even a possibility below 20 years on property

Good to know. I was thinking of applying to be the official Braves charter pilot.

A few days late but that right there was some inside baseball.

Schedule and reroute protections are my top issues for this contract. People may flame me over it but 🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ve got too long left doing this job to fly these horrible schedules.

delayed reply #2 but...

this. A side effect of 5:15 Adg is that NB is funding WB credit via longer days poor commutes and higher blocks. Nyc nba may go surprisingly junior. And system-wide WBb awards may go surprisingly sr.

I thought I wanted a career, it turns out I just wanted a paycheck.:D

What’s the expectation for new hires in the next 3-5 months fleet wise? I imagine from what I read mostly 320s jfk a few
737 our o f there and Detroit and a sprinkle of 765?
