Did you mean to post this in the Alaska forum?
They closed the JFK base almost as soon as they could, they gave up our slots in LGA and DCA, outsourced all our DAL flying to the east coast to SkyWest, and have been taking it in the shorts on the L-VX transcon routes. Why on earth would they put a pilot base in DC? What are there, 5 or 6 while flights a day into IAD/DCA combined?
