I never said it was the worst position, in reality it's not bad. I just don't think it's a career here. I think I would be happier at a select number of airlines, and if I were to get hired, I wouldn't look back. I sure won't miss the stupid uniforms, horrible insurance or the constant reminders from mgmt. telling me how good I have it.

It just gets old after awhile listening to people that I don't respect telling me that I have to work considerably harder than my peers for about 30% less total compensation, while they screw up every NE weather event and collect millions in bonuses.

I was at a legacy prior to 9/11, and I liked it a lot better.

They changed the training scheduling internal website, so we dont have access to the schedules (that I could find) but the latest system bid left 14 JFK E190 vacancies, so that would be a very good guess for newhires. Great news and hope you guys make it into class soon!
