Well, duhhhh!! But what's the reason why???
I was in que but had to leave after listening for 45 mins. Can someone post what they say about that, if it gets brought up. Thanks.
Basically nothing, Andy L (JFK CA) called and asked specifically about that and the jetbridge swap LOA. The company is holding the LOA hostage until we agree on a co-domicile, but they havent made any proposals and the union isnt looking to get into a co-dom negotiation right now. Apparently LGA has 1000hrs more flying than JFK and this vacancy bid will balance it out. The lines in LGA will be more commuter friendly with this vacancy as well.
Seems AA Marketing forced the JFK base situation on Eagle because they thought the international demand would pick up a lot faster than it has. The whole thing hasn't turned out the way they intended or hoped it would.
Still seems like a crappy reason to displace more than 25% of the crews out of JFK, they have really been jerking around the NE people. My personal opinion is they are planning on CRJs doing a bunch of the JFK flying. You heard it here first!
