10,000 block hrs out of NYC on the 88. That is over double FWIW. Not sure if NYC crews will fly all or most of it though.

All right. Thanks for helping me think through my MD plan:

#1: M88B NYC
#2: DC9B DTW

Sure hope I get to stay on the 800. I like those West Coast trips.

The EWR Marriott used to have a $65 (thereabout) rate for crews. Nice hotel and easily half of the nearest hotel. Plus its on the airport property so no need to wait half hour for a van.

Actually stayed at the EWR Sheraton a few days ago, and inquired about the DAL rate - they said $67.

Any decent hotels w/good crew rates near JFK or LGA?

Its been a few years but back then there was nothing near LGA for less than $100. JFK had some deals but some of the hotels were really nasty. The EWR deals were the best of the three airports. Sad, because I hated EWR more than the rest so I never bid trips out of there.

I love the signature that someone has on here that says "the best part about EWR is V1."

The MD-88 trips sound tough, but are they efficient? I would rather work an efficient trip and have more days off per month.....

You should always have credit for each day you fly. I think its 5:15.

But the trips are very rarely commutable.

Thanks again for your inputs, fellas. I didn't get bumped, but more SA is always a good thing.
