Look at the upside. If you really want to embrace the feeling of numb extremities and frozen nostril hairs, all hope is not lost. I spied a few 32 hour Grand Forks layovers on the pairings list for next month!
Summer time that wouldn't be bad. Grand Forks has a great Arnold Palmer design golf course, The Kings Walk.

American has an 8% market share.
So what happened to the fifth freedom rights? With our luck they're gone and yet we still will probably not have a codeshare in the East.

BRILLIANT!!!

Select the "personnel" tab and then select option C. Just so you know, if you look at someones schedule or check their personnel data, a line will show up at the bottom of their schedule showing who checked their data/schedule.

You are never under a obligation to get to EWR in 2 hours since you can measure your short call availability from the airport of your choice.
There is a bus for $30 that goes from JFK-EWR and back every hour. Look up airporter.com. Obviously most everyone is coming from Queens though and not JFK. But fwiw I've used it and I've used a cab. I got the cab at the airport, fare was I think $100 even after tolls. I think. I know it was over $100 after tip.

Also, for like $11 you can catch the Amtrak or some train from EWR's airtrain station to Penn Station. Its easier than the bus to EWR Penn although that is the cheapest round trip I've done. But I also had two not so lovely experiences with EWR Penn in the middle of the night.

Sailing you're making me rehash repressed memories of Newark.

Actually I loved EWR but the Penn Bus station felt like a bad place to be a 3am-ish. Anybody heard of Hogs and Heffers? Evidently someone believed that it was a MUST for my first NYC experience.

Are you so ignorant that you think there are no former NWA pilots and families that will also get displaced and affected by this AE?
Time to start rowing together my friend, we're all in this boat together like or not so might as well get along...
