That and another 30 777 A's and B's. That will total 30 A's and 30 B's from the 777 in the last two AE's.

EWR is not much of a factor at this time. THe only trips out of there that I am aware of is AMS.. and I am not sure that that is all year. Point is, that there are a lot of commuters in Pa, and those trips are NEVER in open time. THe last time I saw one was when I happened to check trip coverage, and a reserve got one of them.. but it never had shown up in open time. Personally, I wouldn't know how to even get to EWR if I got called out... it would probably take me half the day to get there.

It only takes one recovery trip or call out to EWR from Krew Gardens to never want to do it again. I had one once, and getting there via bus, subway, bus was enough to avoid reserve on any jet that could have reserves needed in EWR on short notice.

He blessed you with 7 minutes you could have never had elsewhere.

BTW, you mean this video? I think this is what happened to that 737.

Quick open enrollment question for anyone whom might know. Do we need to do anything to change our designated travel companion? I want to keep mine the same and I can't see anywhere in open enrollment where there is an option to change this or keep this the same. Thanks to anyone who can chime in with the answer.

That's fine... I am just saying that this is not a common occurrence by a long shot. Would I let that temper my decision? Not really.. Maybe some of the junior FOs can chime in here with their experiences, but as a junior CA, I can tell you that EWR just never happens.. Besides.. since there is no time limit for report, I get there when I get there... No perspiration.. and I'm not taking a $200 cab either...

Travel companions are handled through pass benefits and not open enrollment. Log on to employee service center site. Your's should remain the same unless you change it and you don't need to redesignate a companion every year. You can make a change if you need to once a year at your employment anniversay date.
