Anyone smart on how the min/max numbers are cooked compared to this?
For example, on the current small GUM vacancy, the min/max shows SFO full at 83 max for 756FO. If they needed another 21 pilots, why not show around 104 max. In order for the min/max to be accurate, I assume that either they’re planning ahead for another large vacancy and associated exodus around the time these guys finish OE or that they don’t accurately post the min/max numbers. The latter seems unlikely because of how they reference min/max as important in crew resources.

How long are the EWR overnights for SFO756? For a EWR local, getting overnights at home and doing a reverse commute could potentially not be too bad, especially with the higher second year Pay. But I’d assume if you wanted EWR, it’s easier to get there in the 737/320 than 756 right? Especially as a NYer who’d actually prefer to do LGA trips instead of driving across the river to EWR.

You would likely be better off going 737/320 if you want to get to EWR faster and do LGA trips.

If you can’t get EWR during indoc you’ll get it quickly on a following bid. Unfilled vacancies in EWR on the 737/320 are the norm and not the exception . And you can always move up to the 756 later.
I’m not up the current flying situation on the 320 but if you are local on the 737 you’ll be able to get plenty of LGA trips. The majority of locals live west of the river and most the commuters tend to prefer EWR.
Other than the small cadre of guys that live in Manhattan or Long Island, it seems like the LGA trips either go more junior (realitivly speaking) or disproportionately end up on the trade board.
YMMV.
