I commute to Ny320B. Trips sucks, but I don’t have kids and don’t mind commuting a day early, work during the weekends or spending an extra night there.

I don’t mind rsv neither, that’s why I’m bidding A positions in Ny primarily. I’ll do it for the pay raise (even though I can GS a lot, I don’t like playing games to make extra money), but with only 20 open spots, I don’t know if I’ll come down to me. I’m positive that I might get the 737 or the 220. I’m a low 101xx Seniority #.

Don't worry about little things like uBers and hotels. Just 3-4 days of GS(PLENTY of opportunity over the next few years in NYC) pays those tiny costs for a year+. With all the movement happening you'll be able to bounce out of NYC rather quickly unless you mess up and end up liking the base

No A position is worth that sh!thole
Some of us are from that sh!hole, and still live there, because that what suits us. “It’s expensive and overtaxed” would have also worked.

Does that change the filth, stench, trash bags on the street, urine on the walls, disgusting and unsafe both health and security wise public transportation? Nope it's still a horrid place

Let's not forget the bed bugs at every hotel

You either get first place for the sarcasm award or you need serious help. I can't decide which

I’m sure his narrative is to sway people’s opinion.

NY is still the most junior base period....if you want left seat, that where you go. It’s all what you make it.

Those mindsets are the reason those of us that live here(that know better) work for essentially a different airline. That mindset allows me to be a 320 CA in my bed at home almost every night after seven years on property b/c people are scared off by NYC. People literally think all of NY and LI looks like a run down block in Queens or Brooklyn. If you are willing to live here or are from here, the opportunities are astounding compared to our other domiciles, but I'm happy to let everyone know what a sewer this place is.

Cant both be true? It’s a sewer and you have great job opportunity? A sewer run by a rat.
