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 #.

Just do it. Generational movement coming to Delta. Plus 321NEOs on the way. Grab you a Captains spot and get comfortable. Plus you'll look good and get paid good commanding a 321 which is nearly the same size as a 757. Then when you have the seniority to go 330 it's a quick 13 day course.
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

NYC commuter for 7 years serving one base only not 3 sh!tholes.super expensive one, crummy ghetto crashpads, expensive to eat and to get to another airport. Commute sucks unless coming out of dtw region. Non commutative trips no long call from home, roaches in late, idiotic trendy food that is twice what it is in the rest of the free world and liberal tax increases on everything as often as you tie your shoes.
No A position is worth that sh!thole

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.
