My recommendations -
1. PHL E190
2. PHL 320
3. LGA 320 (If you're 30 minutes from PHL you can sit reserve from home).
4. MIA 320

You really want the 320 vs the 737 if you're a PHL guy.

Good luck.

Hey thanks for the well thought out reply. Much to consider.

Appreciate the info... I’m ok with commuting for a few months to a year since all the NY airports work for me. Can sit short call to any of them from home. If I got hired by United or Delta that would be my life for the rest of my career. I can handle it for a few months/years since PHL will be super convenient eventually and I won’t need to retrain on aircraft. So happy I got picked up by AA.

Does anybody know how those numbers compare to DAL? Does Delta have more or less than 14,547 total pilots?

Can you clarify this, you're saying April 1st had 14,547 pilots but today the bottom number is 14,980?

Or is the difference between the two numbers the people on leaves/not active?
