I have a very good friend at JB and he loves it. Considering it myself, just got to decide if I want to start commuting or relocate. Oh, if they will have me.

My class average was ~7000 TT, 1000+ jet pic.

I brought the average down.

I think there were three guys in my class that didn't have any jet PIC time. The rest of us were either current regional CAs that had been at their carriers for 5+ years or Comair guys that were donwgraded/furloughed that used to be CAs. Toss in a corporate guy with international experience and a military instructor.

BOS on the 190 you can get right out of training. JFK on the 190 is likely out of training. Seems like more 320 slots are popping up in training now, too, but I'd expect most of those to be JFK. As for LGB, who knows? If you get the 190, it'll be at least 2 years with the equipment lock. Then again, it may be 2 years if you get the 320. Sounds like most of the growth this year is going to be in the BOS/FLL markets.

I think who will go to bat for you is way more important than turbine PIC time.

I've been trying to find that guy. It is near impossible as an employee here to do much of anything to get a guy on here. I can do the employee rec as well as an LOR but that only helps to get into phase 2. Getting the call in the first place is anyone's guess.

You gotta know a guy, who knows "THEE GUY" who makes the call

Especially for a "FLflyer" QOL is everything once you've been in this industry for awhile. As a commuter, from the jumpseat "call in" ladies, the gate agents and the crews,.. yes, the are top-notch and make life easy. Thanks!
