Does anyone not remember the NJA butt-kissing threads on APC back when NJA got their new contract? EVERYBODY wanted to work there. The threads were all NJA all the time. Do a search.
It's all economic perspective. The 121 airlines are the hot girl and she's back again. NJA is once again the ugly 250# girl left alone at the bar, but she'll be hot again soon. [emoji3]
911 was an airline specific terrorist attack that didn't negatively effect NJA. NJA was not immune to the general great recession of 2008. They furloughed 495 and WB axed the founder of the company and replaced him with hatchet men. Time will tell but I don't think NJA will have an advantage in the next downturn.
