Is NYC a Junior base
Sorry if this is a duplicate but I searched and couldn’t find the answer.
is NYC a junior? Commuting is a dealbreaker for my situation. I realize that choosing an airline due to a base assignment is not advisable, but just wondering. Thanks in advance.

Historically, yes. We’re having some weird things happening with initial awards but you would be able to get there very very quickly if not immediately.

I've been both a commuter and lived in base here, its not a drastic difference at the moment with positive space commuting. Your first month or two will involve a lot of time in ATL, so if you could somehow make that work I don't think you'd find a few months of commuting to be any different from a time at home perspective.
Good luck.

Yes. It is incredibly junior. 7ER capt went as low as 6 years on the last AE. As the previous poster said you may not get it for your initial award, but you would almost certainly get it on any subsequent AEs. The initial awards are simply determined by where the company needs staffing at that moment in time, and they almost always include some NYC slots.

I think they even understate just how junior NYC is. I’ve been on property since August and I’m <65% in category in NYC. Junior Captains are at >80% systemwide.
I think that unless you have the luck to get onboarded at the tail end of a bid (like right now) you don’t have to worry about not getting NYC out of training.

Correct. One must put an "A" where an "R" goes (Oyster = Oysta) and an "R" where an "A" goes (Delta = Delter). Further, one must place a "W" in front of an "O" (Dog = Dwog and, more importantly, Coffee = Cwofee).
When the BOS domicile re-opens, the same rules apply but the "A" becomes more pronounced by the addition of several successive "H's" (Car = Cahhh)
Follow me on APC for more accent analysis. 😁
