I'm going to be at the Doubletree Bar watching the NY Rangers game Friday night. If anyone is sticking around for the weekend, please join me for a beer or three. I'm buying.

Late report, early release, mostly Europe?

Please elaborate... I'm trying to learn all I can about the types of flying available so I can make an informed choice

What length trips are typical on 756 EWR? 4 day? More?

Majority of the trips are 3-days. Late afternoon shows with early to mid-day finishes. They go through phases where there are 6 day bunky trips...but they are not as common.

I have not been based on the 756 in EWR but I looked pretty hard at it. I was on the 737 in EWR for two years...and I thought that flying was preferable to the 756. It offered a lot more variety. The 756 seems like its commuter friendly... But not when they put those 3 days back to back. My drive to work was too long to make B2B three days workable..

All night flying to short range Europe on the 75 as a junior guy, being tired for 3 straight days. Of course that is similar to West Coast 73 flying, almost all red eyes and late night flying. Much as I don't care for EWR as a location, the 737 flying is some of the best overall, daylight transcons and Carribean beach layovers. Jr base, Jr equipment is some of the best seniority a new guy can get.
