SAV to EWR Commute
Looking for some insight/advice if any on the SAV to EWR commute. I am currently stationed in Savannah but will be applying to Republic shortly. Reading the threads makes it seem EWR will be the easiest commutable line as a junior FO.
Savannah has 3 flights a day to EWR but unsure how full they are or if it is possible to count on a jump seat each time. I could always fly to ATL to catch a flight if needed but want to avoid a 2 leg commute.
The second option is to move to ATL and commute to one of the domiciles.

Just a quick note about your possible 2-leg commute through ATL. The SAV-ATL leg is all Delta mainline and from my experiences operating some of those flights, it would be a very tough option for you. We’ve got a lot of commuters out of there.

Thank you for the heads up. I guess my other option would be drive to Charleston since Republic operates a few flights in and out.

Does LGA have lines starting later in the day and ending early in the afternoon?

JFK-LGA involves taking the AirTrain, subway E line to Jackson Heights, and the Q70 bus to LGA. One hour sounds realistic, but when using any MTA service you should always plan for double the normal time.
I think the best option to go to EWR from JFK would be taking the AirTrain to Jamaica, LIRR to Penn Station, Amtrak or NJ Transit to the Newark airport station, and then the EWR AirTrain. Plan for at least an hour and a half.
