-Is there a vest period for the 401k or are you vested right away?
-Is it possible for new hires to get BOS? I’d be a commuter out of CLE or CMH, and CLE-BOS has the most flights on JB metal. JFK is also possible, but all the flights are offline carriers
-With all the hiring going on (it also seems just as many are leaving), what do reserve times at BOS and JFK look like on the 190 and 320?
-I live in base at a regional that does majority of its flying in the northeast and our new TA just dropped. I also should be eligible for upgrade by spring and trying to decide if a commute is worth it. Married with 3 kids so my home time is important to me.

When whichever hurricane came through in 2017 hit, the Lodge turned into a refugee center for all of those in need in south Florida. Those of us in training stuck around and basically had a two-day hurricane party. Poker, remote control helicopters, and as many Jai Alais as Kevin could pour. I even witnessed a dog pee in the entryway to Bubbles on floor 3 while a kid rode on its back. They were incredibly accommodating. Training resumed within a few days, and they had the flooded parking lot cleared within 4. The smoke shack, much like the JB hangar, didn’t fare as well…

BOS as a newhire should be pretty easy. I'd definitely try to commute online vs off since we are still allowing positive space commuting.
It's hard to gauge the reserve times, but the junior 320 and 190 lines went to pretty similar seniority levels (#4246 and #4313 respectively). I'd wager about 8mo-1yr for either seat to get a line if hired today.
Commuting really blows. I don't think it is crazy to stay where you are and enjoy driving to work, and spending a lot more time with your family than you would otherwise. Money isn't everything. If you are going to commute then I'd commute for a legacy and something easy like AA/UA where CLE/CMH-ORD options are plentiful.
