Got a class date next month and I'm stoked! I'm stuck in my area for at least a couple years (the better half has a real job) so I'll be commuting from CMH for a couple years before ultimately moving to base. Was planning on bidding the 320 in class, but I've been thinking more about bidding the 190 and hanging out on that for the first few years while I'm commuting. We've got 20-24 daily flights to NYC (12-14 to JFK/LGA, thanks RPA) out of CMH, so in theory the commute shouldn't be totally miserable. Is there still a good amount of movement on the 190 with the reduced flying? Ideally I'd like to sit reserve as short as possible and my priority is holding commutable lines, regardless of fleet. Is the 190 a good choice, or should I just try and bid the 320? JFK is the priority for me, regardless of fleet.

Also consider that they park the airplanes prior to moving 190 pilots to other fleets. As the 190 fleet is drawn down, there will be more pilots going to reserve, not less.

Thanks for the input guys! Makes sense. Definitely sounds like 320 is the way to go for my situation then. BOS is a slightly tougher commute for me. If you get BOS 320 out of training about how long would it take to hold JFK? Sorry if these are all dumb questions, read through all the threads multiple times and just trying to get a good picture of what to expect!

How many legs per day can a junior FO average per day ?

prior regional/135 guy here: I typically average 2-5 Legs a day

Depends on the fleet.

Airbus: 1-2
190: 3-4
220: 🤷🏼‍♂️

Whatever it is, it seems the average is increasing with the pairings getting worse. Trying to stuff more legs into every nook and cranny.
