i.e. If you are a major airline captain, live in a house a major airline FO can comfortably afford. If you're a major airline FO, live in a house a regional captain can swing.

That's the general idea.

Everything else is individual and has too many variables.

No way! It’s much more fun to do it the way Jetblue pilots love to do it. Buy a house you could only afford doing 4 VDAs a month. If you don’t get the VDA calls don’t worry you’ll just have to pick twice as many straight pay trips. I think the comfortable range is 140-160 hours credit a month.

Definitely not unique to JetBlue pilots. Most of America lives like this actually. Some by choice others by necessity. I don’t judge those who work 70 hours nor do I judge those who work 150 hours. I don’t pretend to know their personal situation. Maybe they have a sick kid or parent.

As for EYW, it’s already scheduled to go to the a220 this fall.

You said Fall, I said Christmas….it’s actually scheduled for April now. So whatever issues there are must be already handled or close to be.
