CnR is where dreams go to die. It’s the darkest black hole of indescribable evil and despair on the internet. If you combined a CIA black site torture facility with the DMV and the dumbest, most extreme flat earther convention, that’s where I would go to take a break from CnR.

I would rather be forced to watch 72 hours of Taliban propaganda and six consecutive days of Home Shopping Channel Dagger/Indian Turquoise Specials than spend five minutes on CnR.

I would rather read the YouTube comments from the last Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump debate than read CnR.

Godwin’s law is achieved on every thread in CnR, even if it’s only one post.

I get a funny feeling you have spent more than 5 minutes on CnR.

Granted the slobbering love affair over Morning Haiku or the 19 page rehash of a simple R9/18 that includes everything except the position of the armrest , is kinda painful, every now and then a useful nugget of information exposes itself.

Just trying to inject a little humor.

Your description was funny. We humans love to view death and destruction though, dont we? Well some do anyway.

It has actually mellowed out quite a bit in the last year, with the SLI sort of in the rear view mirror. I expect it to get vicious during negotiations, but that’s a good thing, we need to get people fired up.

For the new military folks, it’s good that you’re happy to be here, you should be. Talk to your buds at other airlines though, and start getting fired up for a better contract. That should be something we can all get behind (unlike the Boeing AB debate).

CnR, aka Challenge and Response, is a discussion forum on the union website for AA pilots.

In the spirit of the 737 vs 320 new hire questions:

I live 1:10 West of EWR, 1:45 West of LGA and about 2:00 West of JFK (best case driving times with no traffic). EWR is never more than 1:30 drive with traffic.

Reading Sliceback's numbers that a guy can be 41% in base after a year on the 737 LGA is very appealing. But reading that most of the 737I flying is out of JFK has a lot less appeal.

Is there a type of 737 or 320 or D/I flying that would keep a person "mostly" on the EWR side?? It would be great to look forward to a time when I could count on going to EWR most of the time.

I don't care what I fly or where I go. But I would like to "try" to do reserve from home and not drive out to JFK if possible. That becomes a 3+ hour trip at peak travel times, not allotting for parking.

Thanks for all the great advice on this thread and any advice to come!!
