I don't want to turn this into a Bus vs 190 argument but people who choose base vs aircraft are being short-sighted in my opinion......but to each their own....

190 you get to go to bed by 10:00 pm most nights, that's important to many. Also, not really sure which will get off reserve quicker due to guys bidding off the E90 when they can hold a good Bus schedule. Pays the same for the 1st year. Pros and cons.

Btw the JFK 190 is a slug-showing very little movement recently.

So true. I just bid into JFK from BOS due to commutability, and wow. The trips are much worse for a commuter. Went from productive 3-4 day trips to garbage 1-2 day trips pinned together. I will echo what others have said, 3-4 legs a day for 4.5-5 hours of block is << 1-2 legs for 5-6 hours of block. Go to the bus, the red eyes are bad, but you will be whooped after a 12 hour day with half of that parked at the gate.
