Stugatz,
The 190 does mostly high cycle, short haul flying. I'd say averaging 3, maybe 4 legs a day. There are a few 2 leg, 8 hour power turns but not many. Schedules are sort of AM or PM. Not very many productive trips that are commutable on both ends. Not sure what you mean about "is it hard to commute to on that aircraft" but the plane itself has 2 jumpseats, 1 front 1 back. Any city it flies to other than CLT is about as easy to commute to as any other city on that particular airplane. If you mean commutable schedules as a 190 pilot, again, 1 end of each trip is not too difficult to achieve. Both days takes a good bit of seniority.
I just flew a 2-day with our former VP of Ops.
-NO announcement in Oct.
I hear the 190 is a great airplane (nice flight deck, HUD, etc.) and fun to fly. That said, the 190 operation at JB is often referred to as "Jet Blue Express" - it is as close to a regional operation as you can get according to some JB guys I know. The 190 doesn't fly any transcon flights and it is well suited for shorter, thinner routes or high frequency routes (JFK-CLT, JFK-RIC, JFK-BOS, etc.). True you do get some longer flights to Austin and Houston Hobby out of JFK I believe but most flights will be shorter.
So, Stugatz, if you do get assigned the 190 at least you will get the "regional" type of experience you were missing...
Thanks IronCityBlue. What I meant about the commuting was, I'm going to commute from the west coast and was wondering if I could commute in time to be at work on the first day and then possibly get back out on my last??
He meant VK.Who is BK? or did you mean JB? I will just wondering another lady didnt get her call yesterday either.
Thanks
