Reserve is a good deal in ACY, that's why. I flew 15 and credited 109 this month. I noticed on the FO side reserve goes junior. You probably won't see a line there for a couple of years.
DTW reserve over commuting to ACY, without a doubt. Even if you are on reserve for 18 days a month, I bet you'll only actually work 10-12 max. You could probably take alternate deadheads home and get home a day early most of the time. ACY is next to impossible to get to unless you live within driving distance or if you live in Florida. Otherwise it'll be double deadheads or renting a car in PHL. The train isn't running right now, and when it does it sucks pretty bad.
I hope this helps.

MCO is still something of a question mark, as in in grew a bit and then tapered off as we exist in the lull before summer flying and when hiring is meant to pick up in the second half of the year as the bulk of deliveries occur.
Not that MCO won’t grow, but at the moment I think some lower-mid seniority pilots are biding time and probably waiting to pounce when I becomes evident another growth spurt will happen and they are assured better lifestyle.
Between late year growth and the real effects of PBS yet to be seen, it would be a tough call to say what options are assured to a mid-summer or after hire. With the inevitable shuffling to come, the only guess I’d venture in that anyone hired in the first half of the year could hold the base of choice by the holiday season.
Although My opinion and a token will get you on the subway.
