No. I think there has only been two and they've been on the line for some time.

On a slightly different note...I'm starting to grow tired of the redeyes and I am contemplating bidding the 190 for this bid. Pros vs Cons? My seniority on the 190 will be twice as good as it is now on the Bus. How are trips/overnights/commuteablility/productivity on the 190 at a seniority of 40-50%. Just looking for some imput/feedback.

They are generally commutable on the back end (for me back to LA). As for the overnights, they are generally short in the garden spots of The JB system. Lots of SWF, RIC, RDU, HPN overnights. Occasionally we get a more the 12 hour overnight in MSY, AUS or SJU and get reminded how cool this job can be. If they get us downtown when the CHS overnights startup that should be pretty cool as well. Great news however no Redeyes!!

190 has a lot of benefits... No redeyes (sometimes seasonally out of MCO). Only 2 time zones to worry about. You'll learn how to blame the runway in HPN. Happy crews for the most part. Junior airplane in junior base = best quality of life, especially for a commuter. Drawbacks: less pay, a lot of mx delays (though getting better as of late) LOTS of legs (death by OPS/briefings). See you on the regional-liner soon!

Your daily credit for that trip would be 5 hours normally. The fact that Christmas is a holiday you would recieve 2 times your trip credit. So you will get paid 10 hours for your 1.5 hour block duty day.
