Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Transportation between LGA/JFK adds up. Or over to EWR if you get a trip there, since NYC covers all three. May not happen to a line holder, but reserves can't be so picky.

Yep. Even if you take the train/bus for 3 dollars (Or whatever it is) adds up. And sometimes, the amount of time spent on those things makes it not worth it and makes you get a cab which is at least 20 dollars. Even the Kew runner is 7 dollars. Add all this up, plus the food, it is AT LEAST (Most of the time MORE) 500 dollars to commute.

Some good ones near LGA. I would recommend Kew Gardens if you're not gonna have a car up there. I had a pad near LGA but mostly flew out of JFK on the 88 and it's $20-25 for a car to JFK from near LGA. I'm gonna get a beater if I get pushed back up there.

Understatement of the day (unless of course you have a burning desire to commute to NYC). You should have at least posted a picture of a scantily clad cheerleader holding up a "Man ths AE sucks" banner.....

PROBABLY the NYC 73N? Sounds like a diversion to me. Why would you give away what your choice would be when people senior to you could take it too? It's like showing your hand in poker. My bet, you're looking at something in DTW.

I would prefer that, but they are taking too many seats off of the 320. Of course I will have my 777B MD in! :D

Heard that too. Man that is going to irk them. Not that they have a say, but if you are stuck on a jet, lets say the 88 and you want to get to DTW, for now you are SOL.
