Thanks!

I would think that JFK320 FO would have less flexibility than you may think......While some of the other bases and seats are crazy overstaffed (JFK320CA for instance), JFK320FO is not one of them, with most days in the red for reserve numbers which could lead to limited flexiblity.

thank you, super helpful.

I agree with these homies. Long call here is awful, you're a garbage disposal. I am blessed to be able to drive to work here too which helps.

Just out of curiosity, why do you say LC is awful?

I haven't had that experience, but I only had LC right after OE due to not being able to bid in that month. I'm kind of looking forward to LC again, but wondering what I don't know.
