Since I've been watching some CAI/JFK flights recently, I can tell you it's very difficult for employees lately. I've seen one flight go out w/50 empty seats and sometimes 3. DL co-pilot told me one went out with nearly 100 empty seats, but I didn't see those numbers myself.
I'll keep checking, but I would have some zeds in hand for Amman (which is awesome!) or Dubai. We're planning for early Dec but most likely using high priority for inbound.
PS--several crew members have had tough cases of Mummy Tummy, so be extra cautious. Local med is Antinal but I haven't done the "drug research" yet.
