So again, yes much worse.
I can’t speak for the bus schedule except that it’s probably going to get worse for y’all. It’s tough to build efficient and commutable trips without transcons/long hauls. With bus slotted to do more west coat flying, that’ll throw even more fuel to the fire. Y’all may think I’m cold and sarcastic but my heart goes out to y’all commuters and especially to JFK based pilots. These are all growing pains and we’ll all feel it to certain extent though not as painful as the VX side. Btw, I still think y’all should have been Swinglined.
