JFK 777 base
I wonder if the combination of at least one ice storm a year in JFK, plus the occasional TS or hurricane that shuts the NYC airspace down will lead CX to establish a 777 JFK base? Not only would they save $$ by increased operational efficiency, reduced pilot costs (the payscale is less in the US), and no CEA or 13th month payment; but CX would not have to pay housing to expats in Hong Kong that take the slots. Four flights a day should be able to support a base. Am I missing something? What are the constraints here?
