New Hire Questions
Hi everyone, thinking of coming over from the 135 world and have a few questions about JB.
Does JB have a EWR base and if so is it easy to get out of training?
What are they advertising for reserve time and upgrade time?
Do they allow you to drop and trade trips?
Average days worked per month?
Overall happy with the company and could see yourself there long term?
Appreciate all the help as i make the transition!

Reserve time? Im on the 320 JFK and its about 4-5 months on reserve less to get Long Call
Upgrade time? Under a year if you want the 190... don't do it.
Drop and swap? Yeah if you are lucky
Average days? With a Line 15-16
Happy? Not really, everything is delayed you never have a gate when you get back to JFK

Hard to say about EWR since it’s fairly new and hard to tell who wants in and who wants out, but I don’t think it would take long to get. It’s more senior than JFK and has much less trip variety. Junior CA in EWR is 7 years maybe? In JFK it’s 5 but Covid threw that off so it’s hard to tell where it will land. In theory you can drop trips. You can trade them if the days match basically. I work 16-18 days a month. I like it here and plan to stay. I like the airplane and the people. Driving to work is great too.
