Great point. And for someone to state with certainty that an aircraft delivered in 2018 will be capacity neutral...well I want their crystal ball! We can't even accurately forecast demand or total production costs (jet fuel prices) 7 months out, much less 7 years out.

You guys are making it harder and harder to visit this site either at home or at work. I can't open APC in the gatehouse anymore!

So any intel on where these acft are going to base? There is already hints via FO updates of a 737 base in DTW, and MSP and DTW have lost the most NB flying with DC9's going away.

DTW 737 all infers CVG 737 closure, and whats the plan for MEM?

Of course who knows about JFK/LGA with the slot swap, although we don't know if thats going to be any mainline flying at all

Just remember. This is the same media that stated the East Coast was 'ROCKED' by a 5.8 earthquake. I mean all that carnage(no damage or deaths) was so tragic. Our countries media is pathetic.

Exactly! These planes will give us capacity flexibility.

My guess is a DTW 737 base very soon, a NYC 320 base(flying from MSP) & the MEM pilot base will close with that flying going to ATL. Just my guess.

Trying to think -- isn't the whole customs and immigration area below ground level at JFK? If all that fills up with water, yikes!
Underground fueling systems? Baggage areas? Electrical conduits? Other utilities?

It wouldn't take a ten foot wall of water to shut us down. A couple inches might do it.

Yeah, maybe, but storm surge is nothing to scoff at. Couple that with high tide, and it is a big deal. This storm has real potential to be baaaaaaad. Sunny here on the Space Coast though.

Hey!!! where's my margarita?
