Yeah, they probably could have. I would like to believe that they figured that the F/O's that accepted the first recall had enough of displacements. We were recalled into SJU or ACY...then SJU closed and we were displaced to ACY... Few were able to go to FLL and almost all of us live in there. We "paid our dues", so time for the next batch to "suffer" a little... Operationally, I believe they want the F/O's that are current and up to speed to be in FLL, where the flying is more "challenging". ACY is a cakewalk... Just my late night theories.
I'm just happy I'm going back.... had enough of unemployment, SJU and ACY.
Best to all and welcome back....
