It's a shame that people can't get an honest question answered. This is a poolies thread. If his question does not fit with your agenda why not just let someone else answer?

oh sorry...

Bring a flash light and a pen.

Anything else is just for personal pleasure.

BTW! No more sarcasm on this board. The fun value is gone here now too.

The following is true for either jet:

My .02 Cents, one of the few times I'll be on-topic: If you commute, the smallest bag you can get away with that fits a standard 17" laptop.
Having at least one bag that fits under an RJ seat is a huge help.

All you're required to carry by the company is your flashlight, batteries, the laptop and charger, and spare corrective lenses if you need them. The company will provide a pubs bag for the laptop. When mine wore out after 5 years, I bought a smaller one at Staples that was TSA-friendly. I find it much easier to unzip the bag-halfs rather than pull out the computer at checkpoints. YMMV.

Also, after having some friends forget this lesson from the regionals: Always, always, always bring a toothbrush and something to wear in the bar for when your easy EWR turn cancels in EWR because the good jet you flew in goes down hard on the turn... This WILL happen on both fleets, but quite a bit more on the 190.

Eh, more like the horse has been beaten to a bloody pulp than sarcasm. If it weren't every other post reminding the poolies how bad jetBlue sucks, it would be one thing.

Here's an idea. Rather than telling guys how bad it sucks and to go elsewhere, we try to convince people the values of a good CBA over the PEA? The more informed people get hired, the more likely it is to happen. If we just chase everyone to United or whoever is hiring this week, the numbers won't ever be in our favor.

That sounds like the best plan I have heard on here yet.

Since you don't like my approach, I'll leave it to you then. In 5 or 6 years let me know how we're doing.

Happy Thanksgiving?? Happy Thanksgiving?? You have got to be kidding me! What have you got to be happy about? How dare you be happy! Don't you understand how horrible things are? What do you find to be so happy about? What do you think I am, some kind of clown? You think we were put here to amuse you? Well, do you Henry, do you think I'm a clown? Is that it? What is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you? I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore. I'm gonna continually moan on the poolies thread and you're gonna come on here and read what I post and like it because you are a captive audience! I don't care if you want to hear it or not. I'm gonna shove it in your face. hah! take that you uneducated poolies.

Sarcasm, now that's fun...

That's just weird. I was going to say happy thanksgiving, all be glad you have a job. You could be like most people in the states and average 40K a year per household, but instead do way better to sit on your a** and push buttons. The funny thing is people constantly complain. I noticed the easier or more a job pays the more people complain. To all the chronic complainers making 6 digits a year, have you ever done one day of real mans work? Just curious.
