this is the first time i feel important on APC...
as a legal resident of the boston crewroom i can tell you that boston is definitely not going to be like it used to...whether it completely closes is another story.
the jfk bid packs did come out yesterday and the different base seniority lists as of november have been posted. so yes jfk appears to be a go as of november 1st...how it works out is going to be another story. i know a lot of guys in boston are going to be back on reserve during november and december while the rest file down towards new york.
the guys i feel for are those who have been at eagle for quite some time and have homes in maine, nh, and mass. that have worked to make boston arguably the best base in the system...now these guys have to start commuting, downgrading or sitting reserve all over again.
one guy put it best the other day when he said "15 years? That doesn't mean much around here..."
