As far as equipment, it depends on where you live, and what your goals are. If you want LGB as fast as possible, go for the Bus. If you want QOL as quickly as possible, and hate red-eyes, the 190 is your bird. The general feeling is that the 190 will go to FLL soon, if not the next system bid.

Maybe. Maybe not. Looking at the numbers, FLL only has one more E-190 flight than MCO, so if it DOES happen, I don't think they'll up and move the MCO base as much as people think. Looking at the pairings, we're actually getting FEWER FLL flights than we did. I haven't seen that place in months. SJU on the other hand, is like a weekly occurrence. E-190 makes up 25% of MCO's outbound flights. It makes up 26% of FLL's outbound flights. I ASSUME it's the same on the inbounds. Data is purely non-scientific, pulled from CrewTrac from tomorrow, use only as directed, your mileage may vary.

That makes sense since JFK is a slot restricted airport and they could use the A320/321 to get the best bang for the buck. Additionally, BOS is a more business oriented market and travelers prefer higher frequency of flights.

Recurrent last year they said IF (and it was a big IF) there were a 190 base opened in FLL, it would be pulling from the northern bases. When I left JFK, it was pretty obvious the 190 was shrinking up there. Fewer openings every system bid, and the lines were more or less to the same 4 or 5 places like SYR, BUF and the rest of the "shuttle" ops. Wouldn't be surprised to see 4 leg days a common thing out of JFK in a bit.
Plus, if they closed the MCO 190 base, the training department would burn down the building. Way harder to buy people off trips up in JFK or BOS......
