Gents,
Thanks for all the info/feedback on jumpseating and the commute. No choice but to give it a try until hopefully getting MCO or FLL based. My interview group was told that might be possible early on. Seems like most JetBlue guys/gals want BOS or JFK because they live in the Northeast.
It's already gonna be an extra day away from home but I want to make sure its even doable(reliable) from Pensacola.

I've flown with some guys that commuted out of Pensacola when I was in JFK. Two leg no matter how they looked at it, and they knew all the airport hotels in ATL.....

From what I gathered the majority (60/40) of slots are A320 so hopefully that pans out for me. I'll be retired military so my age should help with class seniority.

) - Seems like the A320 and FLL are a good possibility which is exactly what I want and need.Already preparing for the 2 legs to JFK unless I'm fortunate enough to get FLL out of training (training - understand it's not a given to make it thru). Good thing I have a few friends & family in the ATL(
