There are lots of options. Some are expensive, like taking a taxi or ride share. Some are cheaper, like taking the subway and bus. Some are in between, like taking the NYC Express bus or a car service.

I take the subway. It costs about $8. Budget an hour and a half, and you'll have plenty of time. It's a lot easier than sweating a two-leg commute.

This was an idiotic rumor which some regional FO's perpetuated years ago to enhance their own self-importance. Nothing could be further from the truth. If any airline actually did specify that, they are an anomaly.

At the grown up level in this industry, a jet is a jet, and if you can't figure out how to fly it regardless of where the motors hang, they probably don't want you.

Not only that, but if you decide to switch to the ERJ after your seat lock, upgrading in the CRJ will be piece of cake. You won't hold a CA seat in SAN for 5-8 years minimum unless something drastically changes.

I’m a new hire and I start CRJ training in July. Like stnkbg1, I live in San Diego, so PSP is on my radar too. Any idea what kind of trips are flown from PSP (4 days?). How soon could I realistically hold a line there? Thanks for any responses!

That's a composite line, plan at least 6 to be days will be filled in with reserve. As is the line above that one.

Ya. I agree. 2 days of reserve bot a bad schedule for right off ioe. And maybe not any. PSP has 18 “guaranteed lines” and only 1 reserve line.. 20 anticipated lines..
