In contrast…I had Dave Clark onboard last month going from BOS to LGA and we asked that question specifically.

His words were “figuring out how to close that base keeps me up at night. We ran a cost analysis for displacing all of you and the training costs that will generate when you guys displace others will make the LAX/LGB displacement/training fiasco look like nothing. Plus the costs and loss of productivity of the instructors doing fly days and paying them extra to deadhead them, possibly overnight, and get them back. We can’t afford it to close it right now and don’t have the training capacity to deal with it.”
