There is the possibility that the new jfk 220 will not be a 1-1 with the 190. If there are some 320 slots opening as well they can actually help alleviate the 220 overage by not backfilling slots from guys bidding off the bos220. Temporary shrinks bos220 while opening jfk and helps the overage until it’s time for the deliveries to start showing up again.
Guess we will have a start of the picture on June 9th. The big answers come on august 1st.

So who do we think is going to feel the worst of the displacement pain? I imagine there will be a decent number of junior 190 captains that won't be able to hold captain anymore. Do we think people will get displaced from JFK?

I was curious of the same. I know jfk 190 shrunk tremendously so I'm thinking it won't be too much of a shakeup. Curious to see the "limited" vacancies throughout the other bases especially in FLL and MCO if they add any there.

It should have been smoother than how it worked in reality, if they would have stuck to their word. But just like every other instance that never holds up.
