Also, folks don't like having to cover 3 airports. If you are a commuter, that can be a real pain if you don't have a local car to drive. It really sucks when you're at your crashpad in Queens on reserve and you get called out to Newark. You just won a non-refundable $85 cab ride ... one way. Good times.
What about the 73N trips? I'll still be on the 765, but with half the category gone, it may not be worth it. Thinking of chasing the airplane to NYC, but I figure if I am going to cummute, then maybe I should bid 73 captain.
