Can you expand on this? Do you mean to say closing JFK means VX can't displace into PDX or SEA? If this is true and in all likeliness it is, then closing by August means no SLI, and all VX pilots will only be based in LAX or SFO by the time the list comes out. Pretty smart on their end, for legacy Alaska guys there is already one over lapping base and only one new base to bid for once the list is out.


The real question is, does closing JFK A320 mean anything else opens besides LAX/SFO. If the model of 737 and A320 shifts from 20/80 to 80/20, I don't see how the Airbus can do 80% of the north/south without having to open up a SEA 320 or PDX 320.
