Any advice for what to bid to maximize EWR trips for a pilot who lives in Philadelphia? Just thinking ahead to minimize drives further in to NYC if I were able, small potatoes really, I get that fleet changes and whatnot will make it vary greatly but any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks all for the advice! I mean I keep hearing the “bid the bus and don’t look back” thing but shaving 2+ hrs of driving/wk off my life is tempting

Asking for a friend - Has Delta hired anyone recently who is not military but has less than 3000 hours? Mostly 135 with a little 121 mixed in.

Yes those unicorns are out there. No I have no idea how they got it. I wish i knew the formula, I'd have loved to have been her ten plus years ago. They appear to be off the wall people, just random dart board hires to experiment with lots of different perspectives. For you, probably gonna need to hit the job fair circuit and sell yourself.
