The E-190 will get you off reserve sooner, has better trips for junior guys (more productive, no redeyes, etc.), and you will build seniority/QOL sooner on the E190 than the bus.
As of the last system bid, the most junior pilot to hold the bus in FLL had just over 1 year on property. The most junior guys in MCO were 2 years for the E190 and 4 years for the bus.
If you want FLL, bid the bus. If you want MCO, bid the 190 (you can always swap over to the bus later).

2+ years ago I had a choice and went 190. No regrets and no plans to goto the bus now. But I live in the Boston area.
If I lived in Florida, particularly FLL, I think I’d opt for the Bus. What Donuts said plus when we get a contract the pay differential between the two is expected to increase. Also if you intend to go elsewhere I would think the Bus type might be a bit more of a plus on the resume
One data point regarding the Bos 190 is we do have a number of trips with overnights in Florida bases…

Jesus Effing Murphy!! Can you Negative Nancies just keep the sh!tty posts in your threads, and not contaminate the threads of those who are trying to get to JB and improve their lives, and who actually believe in the company? You may not realize it, but those of you who are SO negative are in the minority at JB. You are only the majority here at APC.
If you have nothing constructive to say, then go post in the “latest and greatest” thread, or any of the myriad other ones that are contaminated by the 12 people here who think life sux so badly. Meanwhile, the new hires will keep coming, pushing you up on the SL, and you can make fun of them on the line. If you have the balls to do it in person, which I seriously doubt.

He’s free to complain about the prospect of being assigned the 190, and we’re free to make fun of him for it.
Did you see the picture on BluePilots of DL’s seating area being packed to standing room while beside them bluejets seating area was empty at the latest job fair? What do you suppose would cause something like that? #keepsgettingbetter

12, as in the number of JB whiners on here.
Look, I get it, the lack of a contract after 3+ years sucks. And I feel for you folks because of that. But it WILL come. Others have waited longer.
I’m not there, and I don’t know what “the suck” is like, but I talk to JB pilots in person who say it is not as bad as portrayed here on APC. Some are actually happy to be there. And for some regional pilots, it’s a step up QOL and pay wise. But it’s hard to put yourself in THEIR shoes when your shoes feel so pinched and miserable. But it can still be a better place to move up to for them.
