He was honest (came right into RGS and said he regretted closing our ORD base and would hopefully have it reopened with in a few years, this was in 2022 and it is reopened), he also has a job to do and needs to do it, no matter what the employees think about it.
I am curious what he will bring to JB and what will change with you guys assuming be has the same kind of mindset he did here. Overall, I think he was a nice guy and probably the only one in the palace who didnt mind talking to people about his thoughts and plans.
The day turns/small base stuff that you guys have shifted towards lately has been getting a lot of chatter internally here too. So maybe we will see JB moving away from everyone being based in a hub and open up some smaller BDL/TPA/DCA/SJU bases. I know they feel like SJU is an important part of the network and want to compete against F9 there
