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.....

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

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.
