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.

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.

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.

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.

Guess we have different opinions of “open.”

I live in the suburbs of NYC and agree things look "open" and "normal"

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.
