Try flying in/out of JFK.

I'll be in La garbage in October..... We'll see how that goes. Not a lot of lines compared to Chicago. JFK looks about the same as LGA.

Chicago has about 250 hard lines for the Embraer. Right now it seems like it would be easy to use the low hour technique and pick up lots of open time at 150%.

Just a few months ago open time was blocked for most of the month. Now I don't think anything is blocked anywhere.

You lost me, I was talking about the being late, stuff is always late going in/out of JFK, i would guess LGA too. But I am not sure what your saying, are you going to NY?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you said. I can definitely understand being late into JFK. That can be a moneymaker too though...

Yes, I'm upgrading to the CRJ in LGA. Scheduled to be there in late October.

Nice congrats, ya I am going to MIA at the end of summer. JFK is good for new hires, it has 2-3 guys coming in a month as new hires on the emb right now. LGA EMB is not a good place to go, bottom emb fo is an 08 hire, so thats not a good place to go.

2-3 is really nice too in jfk because we only got like 33 Fos in the base.

Be prepared to be in the bottom of the list of reserve at MIA for long time...

My budy finished IOE in FEB and he's the junior FO for MIA, except for the couples of TDYs that got there this month. He finished his first 100hrs in the emb about 2.5 months after done with training.

MIA is super senior. + you'll have a lot of people moving from the ATR to the EMB by summer.

From what I got that is going to change. Right now it is like 35 pilots and has been that way for a bit now, but the flow plan piles people in fast come late summer, plus there are about 20 guys about to finish up in the school house that are new hires that are mia emb, there was like 2 classes in a row in March that had 10 mia emj. From what I saw with the flow plan, when I get down there which should be around Sept1st it shows me being like 45ish of 65ish, and I heard the base might be 100 pilots when its all done.

Plus I want to live within 30 min of the airport, I would not mind RSV at all, as long as it is not , so as long as i had like 5 people under me, it would be a great base.

5 guys below you??? Really, what about that 5 guys are free at the same time, guess who's going to be in RR 1 at 5:30am???

Plus from security to D60 or Crew lounge is a long walk...been there, done that.

Remember flow plan is current, as vacancy bids goes out it's going to change...for starters in that flow plan you're looking there are about 25 guys above me (I'm a Nov 2010 hire) moving to MFE. Plus there will be more guys moving all year from MFA to MFE that got the ATR last year and still seat locked.

Just don't keep your expectations too high, it will help you a lot in this industry. Study hard...we need pilots! So bring your friends along... :)

Ya true story on that, and some RR now and then is not THAT bad, just all the time is miserable. Trust me I am watching it religiously, if it was not for those 2 new hire classes in a row, I would not be doing it, worst off I just go somewhere else. All I know is I want to live closer to the airport.

While on reserve is there a long and short call reserve system and if not, what's the call out time??
