Question for the savvy NYC commuters. I know how to get between JFK-LGA. How do you go about getting from LGA-EWR and vice versa and between JFK-EWR and vice versa. I know heavy train use is involved, some more detail will be helpful.

Also I know the short call out is approx. 2 hours. I could stay about an hour east of JFK and 1:15 from LGA. Is that acceptable or do I need to be able to get to EWR within the 2 hours as well.

It has nothing to do with senior or junior. It has to do with the individuals.

Bad traffic changes things and a call to crew scheduling with your status and that you are on your way is all you need to do.

Maybe the reason that it's less fun is not because the captains are more senior, but because you are.

Back in the ol' days, those were good layovers. EVV three nights a week on the DC-7.

Ferd,
The guys that fly the best trips are the most senior and the most junior. Of course the most junior only get them when the most senior are sick.
