But yes, EWR is a base. It has a temporary crew lounge now that sucks. It will self correct when the move to the new terminal in the Fall happens.

No way to know if EWR is going to stay a JetBlue base with the Spirit acquisition or if it’ll be forced to divest all EWR holding to keep the NEA intact. Fortunately there is an airline that has a large EWR presence, always seems to have openings in that base in every fleet type, and regularly hires pilots from JetBlue.

I glanced at the system bid (don’t have it in front of me, but it looked like they’re growing Newark next year to have around 90-100 FO’s. Strangely is showed considerably less Captains. I would imagine they’d consolidate ACY into EWR when the time comes.
Also, looks like 5200 active pilots for JB by the end of next year? If Spirit continues to hire above attrition, we could end up having close to 9000 pilots total when these companies complete the merge. Should make for a strong Union. We just need a complete overhaul of our current management.

Co-terminals must be within 40 miles of each other so an ACY co-terminal at EWR is not going to come into play.
