Get the base started for any reason, then demand parity or better in productivity.
Just my opinion....

And what is wrong with parity? Seems to me that the LGB/FLL crews aren't "demanding" anything. It sure looks like it's the JFK crews (or at least in your opinion) that are getting screwed. Did you happen to notice that out of the 75 crews in FLL that alot of them are in the top 30% of their respective seat seniority? But then, we all need to be equal right? Please remember that before there were out bases, we ALL were JFK crews, some of us for 3+ years when the majority of the pilot staff was thumbing their noses at us from their comfortable seats in the cockpit of a USAir/UAL/DL/AAL (pick one) plane. Or, bashing us anonymously on Flightinfo.com or assorted other websites like that. Now, you have just transferred your anger and resentment to Airline Pilot Central.
What do you guys want? Do you want JB to be like those other outfits that you either left or got furloughed from?
Sure seems like it to me, but then, that's just my opinion, right?
Geeezzzz..............
