And as for us NY based folks who face a very likely base closure and either 2,000nm+ commutes or uprooting of families and moving them west coast, it's not a rosy situation. And they'll probably displace us to SFO/LAX.
Sir where are you based right now? How do you know your base will close? How do we not know this current slowdown in hiring is not the direct result of having to retrain the entire jfk base on the 737? By your own admittance the most affected will most certainly be Alaska pilots in Pdx and Sea.
