"I'm on a PS flight right now and the crew had no idea. I'm responsible for some tears and serious devastation.

Sad."
Why should the crew care?

If they're Brooklyn/Queens/LI based it's pretty awful.

Any speculations on the future of T7 at JFK? Once United leaves, the already tiny terminal won't have much to stay open for.
Most terminals are predominately occupied by a US airline
1 - many European and Asian airlines
2, 4 - DL
5 - JetBlue
7 - BA, Cathay etc
8 - AA
3,6 - not functional

It doesn't sound right to me to keep a terminal open for a few flights a day by foreign carriers.

ETA: Some speculations but not much.

It's a shame that the NYC terminals are so sub par compared to the rest of the modern countries out there.

Even if T7 was torn down and rebuilt completely it would be a sub par terminal, because the US just can't get airports right.
