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…

-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.

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.

Application Question
I submitted my application a few weeks ago and got the automated thanks but no thanks auto reply. I checked my app over and over for any of the check boxes that cause the auto email. I'm a CRJ CA with roughly 500 Turbine PIC 3500 Total Time. Is that why I got the no thanks email? I know that a lot of guys with Turbine PIC get the 320 type and leave. However, I live in MCO so if I got a CJO and decided to take it I would stay. Should I try to reach out to someone directly in recruiting or just keep my app updated and hope for the best? Thanks!
