SWA starting JFK

[BigMotorToter]

Just heard that the SWA logo's are up behind the ticket counters in the old Jetblue terminal T6. Any info?

Ha! And they think the lines for takeoff in LGA are long...

Would be an idiot move.

I haven't heard anything but we usually announce a city MONTHS before we start occupying the space.

Now THAT......would be......FAN....TASTIC. Wow, if that is true, those long afternoon delays will really back up their 6 leg days down to BWI, ORF, JAX, PBI, and onto BNA and STL......FUN!

Getting paid to sit in a conga line is the easiest money I've ever made. $200 an hour to read the paper is my kind of living.

I am sure the SWA pilots would appreciate the long delays at JFK - they would help them rest from the previous 30-minute turns they flew that day...

Highly doubtful jetBlue still owns the lease on all the gates at T6.

Though that SWA as paid by the MILE not the MINUTE......did this change or was I incorrect.

Maybe SWA is buying JetBlue!!:beer:

Base pay is calculated on the MILE with additions for known delays etc. If we go over schedule we get 1/10 credit every 5 minutes over we go.

For example you could have the same leg pay differently depending on time of day. PHL/PVD for one. I've been paid over an hour extra on that leg.

More complicated than pay by the mile but mostly correct. 12 minutes overfly and then its another 10th of trip-for-pay every 5 minutes. Again, much more complicated than this.

Aren't you worried about how it will affect your delays?

Sounds like a good rumor to start, in fact I thought the same thing when I saw it the other day. Word from the higher ups is that they are cleaning it up a little to get ready for a movie shoot.

We shall see

Actually, the Southwest signage is only in place at T6 for a movie shoot next week. The movie is supposed to be called "Going the Distance" starring Drew Barrymore. That's it, just Hollywood fluff...
