So it’s a lost of 400+ seats a day. It would appear our days of catching the non-stop to JFK are over; which in turn raises the question, which airport is the best to sleep in, ORD or DFW? :rolleyes:Quote:

Well BOS and DCA do have rocking chairs :cool:
Wow, is there really that much demand?
Only a handful of nonrevs get on a typical 168-seat 767-200 transcon so a reduction of 100s of seats a day is very bad news. Sometimes, only crewmembers who elect to ride the jumpseat get on. The only hope we have is open seats in F since they maintained 3 classes of service. Even then, if the flight is oversold and they move people up, we will be out of luck.
Exactly- roundabout routes to NYC will become the norm.Quote:

Good thing I wasn't trying to get on!
This is the most demanding and highest yield route in the country partly due to the amount of walk-up need-to-go-now revenue (Celebrity, Rockstars, etc) .Quote:
