Boston vs JFK for E190
I'm looking at bidding over to the E190. BOS has more flying but I'd be more senior in JFK. Is BOS the place to be for the 190? Or do the JFK 190s sort of filter through BOS for an equal diversity of flying? What's the reserve grid like?

BOS looks like maybe it has a little more RJ-style flying than JFK but that's just from a quick look at the pairing PDFs. No idea what the grids are like so I have nothing for you there.

As far as 190 seniority advancement, it appears JFK moves significantly faster than BOS. I assume the high percentage of locals has something to do with that.
