JFK is only a cabin crew base, not a pilot base. There will be no U.S. based pilots as a result of this, not on the 787 or 737. JFK, LAX, and FLL will remain as cabin crew bases according to what I have heard and read. Word this morning is that the pilots have been told March 31 will be their last day. Apparently many for of the 787 crews based in FLL who came on an FAA license have never seen the inside of the airplane. Supposedly there have been all sorts of issues with getting an EASA validation and some of them have been sitting around, collecting a paycheck, for over a year. I am not sure if all U.S. based pilots are losing their jobs, or just the ones who do not have EU/EEA/CH citizenship and an EASA license. Apparently many who chose U.S. bases were European pilots who had dual US/EU citizenship, were married to Americans, or had a green card from another source. I did hear the FLL base chief was a Norwegian guy who is married to an American. Not sure if people like him will have the options to head to a European base. But all of the Americans are definitely out of a job on March 31.
