New hire candidate here, question for non-commuters.
Is it true that line holders can bid on a specific airport? What fleet and seniority would you need to, for example, live southwest of Newark and bid pairings exclusively (or mostly) from/to that airport?

Right now, your key to EWR would be 737 NYC. Typically on the FO side they go Junior-ish.

Questioning Delta NYC
Hey all. I'm retiring from the military with availability Fall '22. Divorced and want to move to Brooklyn in 3-5 years when the kids go off to college. I know that's weird to a lot of people, but I'm pretty solid on wanting to live there. Commuting somewhere from CHS until then. Am I crazy to want to domicile out of NY? Should I reverse commute out of Brooklyn? I've been thinking Delta for a long time, but after reading the forums, have some concerns with the commutes to/from NY, among the 3 airports, and with the schedules. United out of EWR (or even BWI) or AA out of JFK are also on my radar. My eventual target, if I'm fortunate enough to work towards it, is widebody to Europe. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would NOT live in NY and commute somewhere else, that would make zero sense. And destroy all of the reasons to live in NY.
My NY friends say the 73 has the best trips, but your seniority will rise so fast in NY that you’ll be able to hold good trips on any aircraft.

Live off the J line and you have a straight shot to Kennedy via Jamaica Air Train. 7ER is 99% JFK flying (1% charters). 737 mostly JFK, and when you hold a line you can bid avoid EWR or LGA as needed. PM me if you have questions about specific areas.
