Bugs, I have nowhere NEAR your time at JB. But I just finished a 4-day trip, and only had one single customer out of about 900 who had a complaint to make, and that was because she put her coffee on a tray table after two inflights advised her not to, and it slid into her lap. Yeah, she was going to seek a full refund on her ticket.

But the other 899 (or thereabouts) were pretty happy. (Maybe due to my exceptional landings? IDK) And to toot a relatively RARE horn for JB, every single flight departed early and landed early. (I had to ask the CA if this was legal)

Not sure where you are going with this? The company sees a need to fill slots in JFK for December, and is offering TDY. Does it affect you? Does it offend you? If either, then why? FLL is fat on FOs, JFK isn’t. Pretty simple solution to me to solve the short-term problem.

Also, not sure what DH you are complying about, but my friends on the West Coast travel back and forth in Mint all the time.
