I’ll also add that a lot of the 190-BOS pairings get broken up (secondary pairings), which is almost all I fly since I live in base. I’m sure that’s every base though, but I think it’s higher on the 190.

Yes. Just seems like that line would be full of red-eyes and a long time at the very bottom. I'm more interested in flexibility, days off and some weekends than maximum $$.

Best advice.

Focus on going to a real airline that has a hub where u live.

I’m too old or I would be.

Lots. Pretty easy from what I hear. Good gate agents and all the commuters know each other and communicate.

Yes there are a lot of us, and yes we communicate. Also a fair amount of Delta guys, and a fair amount of Delta flights. And soon to come one a day on American to LGA, but its not a great time slot. The commute is not perfect, but it's not bad.

You're gonna be a number or two above me at JFK. I can easily hold a decent line, or any reserve schedule I want. I suggest you bid BOS, or enjoy the fish at the restaurant...

Are there many green days on the reserve grid in JFK?
