So if this assumption (base within a base) came to fruition, that sure would lead to some seriously boring flying/schedules.
Some might want it I suppose, but only flying to LHR and back for year... yeah, that'll get old.

Day 1/2 JFK-LHR
Day 3 LHR-BOS
Day 4 BOS-FLL (insert any other location here)
Day 5 FLL-JFK
Not saying it's likely because I have absolutely no idea how they would crack this nut if Europe is announced, but my point is there could, in theory, be some other locations thrown in on the pairings to mitigate that.

Also, I don't think JB will have only one Europe destination. It'd be multiple or none I'd think. And SQ (special qual) pairings are only required per the CBA to have one segment to a SQ location. In other words, they could, in theory, have a pairing that goes like this:
Day 1/2 JFK-LHR
Day 3 LHR-BOS
Day 4 BOS-FLL (insert any other location here)
Day 5 FLL-JFK

It’s definitely going to be interesting

I just hope the hotel is right at the airport, right next to the runway ( I like the feel of the 'ol crashpad under 13L in South Ozone)

relevant to this discussion...how would these trips be paid? i used to be in an aa crashpad in ord, and the guys there would fly 3 trips a month. ord-bru-ord or whatever. paid 90 hours or something. worked 9 days a month. how does that work out? and is that what we will also have? (my guess: that is not what we will have).
