Default EWR

I heard last night that EWR was closing as a hub as of April 1. They are getting rid of ops and most of the FedEx managers. Anyone else hear this or know anymore?

I was up there a week and half ago and asked during the hub turn why it was so quite. The reply was "dunno but there have been less flights". Nothing about closing...

They are going to continue to use EWR.

Operations is being shutdown. Coordinate through maintenance is the plan. Similar to Oakland Operations.

That is what I heard last pass thru EWR.

It blows.
