-doubtful but it may not take ridiculously long, expect JFK and BOS out of the gate, occasional LA every once in a while

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.

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.
