I'm honestly shocked we have not.
We were always full at Awac doing bos-roc

If I was to guess we will see BOS-MSP or maybe CVG soon.
I am sure RH is not a fan of this Delta growth.

Last info from the guy running BOS was we will be getting the 40 gates back as well as where Spirit parks. They will be connected via walkway with the food court now put behind security. We need more gates. Gee I wonder why we fly to orh.

As long as I don't have to go through that stupid little checkpoint. They always put the DCA flights there.
Found the plan thanks to airliners.net

Thumbs down

Absolute meltdown at JFK on Friday night. . .this is becoming commonplace. I understand that weather affects operations however it seems as though we are starting to throw in the towel when it comes to ops and customer service once there is a disruption.

Yeah you should have seen the Just Ask line last night at 2am. 6 or 7 lines from the help desk new location down the hall towards Starbucks.

Same old garbage they always do on weekend irops. It seems like the weekend people are awful at their jobs, aren't allowed to make a decision, or... there are no weekend people and everyone leaves the golden palace at 3pm on Fridays.

Outstation flights supposed to depart at 4pm were EDCT'd until 10 or 11, didn't show up in JFK until midnight. Then thought they could operate a turn (E190) at 1am then fly the 10pm bank to the outstations at 5am. Of course everyone including passengers knew it would eventually cancel but they kept doing the 30 minute rolling delay for 6 hours.

Crews timed out at midnight (always a surprise when that happens), ended up cancelling the plane's last 3 flights at 2am after passengers have been sitting in the terminal 6+ hours. Several crews sitting around ops last night waiting on hotels or schedule changes.

Part of me wonders if upper management even knows this stuff happens. They certainly don't even send out emails anymore saying "Thanks for helping out" or "We know it took 2 hours to get you a hotel at 3am last night but we've fixed it for next time!" Just silence now. But we're appropriately staffed with negative reserve numbers.

This airline is either being purposely taken apart or is completely rudderless as our inept middle management runs us into the ground.

We were Talking about how inept our middle management is here. Either they need to be fired or given authority to make decisions (upper managements fault, aka needs to be let go). It's terrible how bad it's gotten.

People need to be held accountable and they aren't. . . I don't know how the airline can take another year of this without a branding reputation that can't be fixed.

It was the turtles fault!

Flights at JFK briefly slowed down by turtles | Newsday

"Briefly alowed down".... only like 6-7 hours.

Agree

The silence is amazing.
