Delta NYC MD-88 or 767

[PeanuckleCRJ]

I'm still twitching over whether or not i should have bid up to NYC for the ER this round. I would be bidding around 70% up there as a Feb 07 newbie.

I'll be borderline lineholder in my current place on the ATL767 at around 85%.


I did the MD-88 shuttle for a couple months out of NYC- commuting out of DTW no less. It wasn't half bad. There isn't much competition for the jumpseat. The only pain is the last flight out of LGA to DTW is around 1930... about the same for JFK. Plus, JFK is a Comair flight and thus super unreliable like most of the DCI operation.

Regardless, the NYC MD-88 is a great experience. I learned so much about the DL operation so quickly....even with only 115 hours in the airplane before I got pulled to go fly my dream birds.

Did you mostly just take NWA to LGA with a couple of back-ups. Did it work well or was it a little stressfull. Thanks!

Also do any of you guys see, with the change of the seasons, bottom line holders on the 76 out of NYC having lines then loosing them due to senior guys taking res. for certain reasons or reduced scheds?

That happens at any airline on any equipment, doesn't it?
