That is spot on, and there are never ending rumors and changes, any move you make is a roll of the dice, I took JFK over LGA because of something I was told on here by the guy from NH who I think is at J6 now, I think his name was flyby, and it paid off, if I had taken LGA I would have been Standby for months now and waiting months to get to jfk. It is all a gamble, like if you want LAX you could take the CRJ ORD/LGA and hope they open a base out there since it has been a huge rumor for awhile now and would make sense based on how the flying is. You MIGHT get lucky and end up being in a super junior LAX CRJ base, sort of like how LGA CRJ has been the last year, and MIA EMJ is now being, but it could also back fire majorly.
