Yes, you can eat outdoors but how many places shuttered over the year for good? Now you can seat like what 25%-50% occupancy inside now I think? yeah, the big apple is booming <sarcasm> I'll admit, it's nice to not have the gestapo greeting you at the gate when you get off the plane though. I'll give you that. Be honest dude, 2021 NYC is nothing compared to 2019 NYC. You know it, I know it, the world knows it. |

Define "opened". Been to the Lowell? Its restaurant just opened, still at 40% rooms. Is the Mandarin open yet? It was supposed to open in Oct but that got pushed back. How about broadway?

If NYC can handle 9/11 & the 2008 crisis... there is without doubt it will recover from COVID-19. The gestapo is gone from the gates and stuff is opening. Compared to the rest of the world, NYC looks like night and day.

[QUOTE=
I'm stuck on the 7ER doing those crappy non-commutable trips. That is all <60% in category can get you if not getting reserve. It really is a downer. Don't think we see Int'l pick up for awhile. .[/QUOTE] In what way are you stuck on the ER? Are you seatlocked? If not you could have easily bid off on the AE and at 60% in NY I’m guessing you could have at least held ER in ATL, LA or SEA. Im as good a sport *****er as the next guy but my god man, you sound like you work in a salt mine. |

Ha, this is hilarious. I did a Times Square layover about a month ago. I live in FL and I can tell you NY is no where near open. Unless you mean scrolling through google looking for a place to eat and seeing “temporarily closed” on half the places around. Which is less than it was a few months before. Guess we have different opinions of “open.”

You can’t take Times Square as representative of NYC. Midtown is the most tourist-dependent part of the city and will not look anywhere near “normal” until borders are open and international tourism is back. I guarantee you places where regular New Yorkers live look a lot more “open” and back to normal than what you saw in Times Square
I live in the suburbs of NYC and agree things look "open" and "normal" |

Im as good a sport *****er as the next guy but my god man, you sound like you work in a salt mine. My issue is not with the commute It is the totality of optimization that has occured over the last 2.5 years. Toss in the personnel fiasco and the category is crap. Just look at this last AE. When's the last time you got re-routed from an awarded bid, 30hr layover to a min rest red-eye? Happens a bunch on this jet. |
