Hahaha! I spent my childhood flying cancelled checks in/out of JFK, LGA and EWR (down the river, statue visual to 29, high speed taxi to Butler Aviation, we'd make SW look like slowpokes!)

15 years later I'm flying for DAL, based in BOS when Mo'Ron decides to close all the little bases; BOS, ORD, MIA, IAH, MSY, and some I'm forgetting sure, but 99.9% of the BOS 767 guys said, "I'll just bid the ER in JFK. Should be an easy commute with the LGA Shuttle..."

I about died laughing. I said, "You do that, and you'll have a good time commuting when it starts snowing in NY. I'm bidding MD11 F/O in ATL."

I still remember being number 45 for takeoff out of JFK in the Turbo Commode, and then the front passed, and then they spun the airport, from 13 to 31... and two hours later we got airborne.

You can have it! The less I see of NYC, the happier I am. I hear that new terminal 4 is wonderful, and then taking the sky train to the bus, to the van, to the layover sounds like a hoot!

My mom said they got a foot of snow up in NH today, while I was out sailing in a T shirt and shorts, with my dog trying to drink up the lake! Any wonder I moved south? I have not had to shovel my car out in 15 years, and no, I do not miss that! I miss playing pond hockey and downhill skiing, but I make up for that by going sailing in 84 degrees in Feb.
