777 base in JFK, that's not what I heard during those discussions. I think (had we kept both plane and route) we'd see what the yields looked like and then decided for basing, but the discussions I was privy to were DH ATL crews to JFK to operate those trips (or have them as part of a longer rotation type scheme). If yields were satisfactory over a longer term as we operated that pair, then the discussion was perhaps to have the 777 based at JFK.
You post pretty accurate info here on the forum, so maybe your memory of it is better than mine.
