Also how often do the reserves get used on each aircraft?

It's not a seat look, it's an aircraft lock and not preventing you to go from FO to CA.

I think his point is that if you go to the bus at 2 years, you can't go back to the E190 to be CA 6 months later. You're locked on the bus for 2 years.

Upgrade at JetBlue is a distant possibility for the recent hires, I am willing to bet that this would not be an issue at all.

So if I move to the bus, I can upgrade 6 months later if I wanted to?

Probably not much different between airframes. Less than 300hrs/yr for JFK/BOS 320/190 sounds about right. Maybe 6-10days of flying per month avg. more in summer, less in winter.

Mostly day trips/2day trips on the 190 and 3-day 10hr red eyes on the 320 (red eyes suck but super commutable).

For perspective I just received an email from the school house regarding my 90 day landing currency. I'm JFK E190 and it seems my timing hit a perfect storm. I also de-qualed for 100hrs in 120 days consolidation as a New Hire. I managed only 77hrs.
