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!!

You probably won't have much choice on reserve, but once you hold a line (2-3 months at most), you should be able to easily do at least half your trips from EWR, and maybe more. Good luck.
