I think we will crack 2900s this time, maybe even 3000.
Haha nope I’m not. I don’t even remember what the last bid was. I could see it getting closer to 3k.

Definitely see it going to #3000. I think there are a few tired 190 RSV captains who might wanna try the right seat of the Airbus.

Most of us have already been on the bus. While I do miss it, it would be too great of a pay cut to return.

I commute from TX to JFK. More flights than Boston. Almost every 90 minutes vs 7-9 for the entire day. Almost can never get into JFK. AA runs a 737 and always has a jumpseater. Delta runs a CRJ 900. Always full. I don’t know what you mean when you say good options to JFK. In 4 years Ive never seen “good” flight loads. Twice I spent 4 hrs in a 175 or CRJ jumpseat as a last resort.

It’s the LGA shuffle most of the time. In the jumpseat 20% of time. Middle seat, last row, between seat straining passengers 40% of time. But the other 40% I get upgraded to mediocre.

Nothing beats a trans con red eye followed by a one hour $42 Uber between JFK-LGA and a 3.5 hour flight home.

There are a few tired brand new 190 RSV CAs that in this current utilization are wondering... WTF have I done???

How bout a transcon redeye followed by a transcon commute but oh, sorry, the backs full and the jumpseat’s taken, and it’s like that for the rest of the day, so it turns into a 2 leg transcon commute. Thankfully for us, our new west coast and Texas focus cities are right around the corner.

Does our Texas focus city include a DAL base and LUV-ly new paint colors?

I'm from AUS. Always been relatively easy, except the red-eye then commute part. Tons of seats on the early JB out and the evening American back every time, but I'm usually commuting on different days than the senior JB folks.
