As far as JFK/EWR it will be a co terminal base. Language will need to be drafted regarding that and how it will all play out. Email your WRC and make suggestions if you are so inclined. The trips per S.F. email last night will inevitably have early shows on the front end because of the nature of the flying we do and the buffers needed to protect the operation.
Will all the trips be like that NO, but expect to see a large number of highly productive 4 day trips with a back end early release.
Staffing JFK/EWR will go super senior I promise you that. You have no idea how many east coast commuters we have here.
Yes, I know how many guys commute from the east coast. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. LAX became a base in April. When did they finally fill it? That's my point. Guys waited to see what was going to happen before they pulled the trigger. Their main reason for waiting? Pairing productivity. As far as the the info regarding how they think they'll fill it? That came right from planning. I have no gain making stuff up. People ask what's the word and I'm just passing it along. It helps to decide whether or not to make a move or not.
