Long and short call reserve are lumped together. You can get assigned short call up to 8 times/month.

767 ER is JFK only. I think guys hired this past fall may be holding lines this coming summer.

Not sure about the MD-88 (which covers EWR, JFK and LGA)

The 88 covers all three in NYC? Really? I thought it was LGA only? Is this true? BTW what do the trips on the 88 in NYC look like. (Duty on... duty off... layovers... block ect. Just generally)

You do cover all three airports. As of late there have not been any EWR trips in the bid package, but that does not mean that they will not have you go over there to pick up a ATL or CVG rotation.
Most of the flying is out of LGA, but there is some JFK flying. Most of that goes to the senior guys that are out of the island that want to get off early, or late. (Turns to FL)
That said, there are generally day lines ( shuttle, four legs, or FL turns ) two days, and three days during the week. Some four days on the weekends for the shuttle trips, and occasionally you will have a trip that will come through ATL and CVG.
The flying is nice, but is generally built for people that live in the area. If you commute you will need a crash pad. Expect there to be movement out of NYC with this entitlement, so your QOL should increase quickly.

When are the AE results supposed to be out? I'm curious to see if I'm still going to hold a line in August.

They're out. See other thread on this site.

For the guys/gals that get the 88...think SWA. Lots of up and down plus busy days. The up side, its almost all daytime flying. The downside, busy days, short layovers (on average), and its not Boeing. It used to pay well at DAL. Not so much these days.
