That said, a majority of NY based pilots commute, including the chief pilots. Many pilots in BOS and some in LGB/FLL/MCO commute as well. It’s not terrible on or offline depending on where you are.

You’ll usually end up in even more leg room seating and be allowed to board first to say hello and store your luggage.

Commuting on JB is fine. Some city pairs are easier than others. Cities with multiple 320/321s are east whereas 1-2 E190s a day are where It’s challenging.

You forgot to mention some of the joys of commuting offline. Guys, there are totally Instagram moments to be had on the CRJ900 first class! Even better the 737 lounge chair, biscoffs for all gents! The real epic moment is when that crusty captain who has been flying all night and rolls in last minute to tell you he’s got the Jumpseat.

That can happen at JB too.

Pretty sure there was a new change. Don’t quote me but if it’s 15 mins prior you are not getting bumped from that jumpseat.
I commute almost always on us. I have had 1 issue in 7 years 1
It’s commuting it is what it is. I have had more issues with AA agents in DCA vs ours. Plus we don’t oversell so you should have a really good idea if you will make it.
But as always if you can go on DELTA they are better than us at everything
