You'd clear more at NJA than you would as a first or second year FO at AirTran.

Of course, if you happen to live in one of the popular "resort towns" where the affluent like to play, or somewhere near New York (many of our owner's have homes in the NYC area) there's a good chance you'll score an occasional overnight in your home town.
I live in South Florida (popular place for many of our owners -- many have second homes here) and have overnighted in my hometown (or close enough for my wife to drive in for a visit) only 5 times in the year and a half I've been with the company.

The company and the union are engaged in Interest Based Bargaining. There are countless rumors about what will and will not be in the proposal (domiciles, scope, crew rot loopholes, crew food, etc). No one knows yet and no one knows how all the pilots will vote. The package is due out in Oct. My advice is to apply now, get hired and then decide to accept the offer or not.

jetlag... can you expand on this a little? What else can you factor in other than the BASE salary?

EJA never had home basing. NJI did/does. EJA started with CMH, then expanded to CMH, LAS, and ATL in 1999. Around 00-01 it expanded to 25 "Gateway" airports.

Great.... what would you ballpark an average yr 1 light jet FO to take home considering all this? (on top of the 39K)
