As I said before, my money is on AS keeping JFK open...just not with the Bus. Knowing the Bo's at Angle Lake, they'll return the Bus when the leases are up and replace them with 737s. They already have more n order than VX has airplanes.
Remember what it says on the nose of every AS jet in this SEA based company...Proudly all Boeing.
I think the VX presence in the east was one of the reasons they bought you.

. And I'll just have to go to the Museum of Fossil History to study the 737 overhead panel and I'll be good to go.

For this interview group they stated if offered the job class wouldn't be until very late this year.
The status of JFK is REALLY unknown there, I asked many questions about the base. They have no intentions of growing it, its strictly a .117 base. Alaska management has expressed concern about why Virgin even has it.

That's interesting, competletly different concensus on the line regarding the JFK base, many seem to think AS would like to grow the base and with that it wouldn't make much sense to close it. Also I'm new here but I'm pretty sure our NY base has been around for way before FAR 117 so I'm not sure that's a valid statement. Either way good luck!
