I'm sure the company would love take that away in exchange for all encompassing NYC base. Bottom line is this: if you want to eat go to JFK, there is 48% less food (daily departures) at EWR now there there was a year ago. I’lladmit as a West of Hudson guy life was better for me pre EWR base, but it is a Seniority based system.
I think there’s a point somewhere in here. You’re all over the place. Yes, seniority. You know what else is seniority? Our VDA system. And that’s a broken mess. In case you miss it, my point is there’s middle ground to satisfy a larger percentage of the pilot group WHILE respecting seniority.
