SCT is preparing for the meeting with the ZLA SMEs to discuss solutions to alleviate conflictions in the SXC area. Initial discussions were held with HQ and the OSG to plan the transfer of the SoCal project to the OSG and plan out the closeout of the SoCal Metroplex Project. Discussions were also held with AWP Counsel and the need to have the leads continued support during the scheduled legal briefs and oral arguments for the lawsuit and the outstanding Petitioners.

It's still going to be a couple weeks until everything is in place to work more as two teams. The week of Feb. 5, I attended a Capitol Project meeting in order to learn the differences in Metroplex meetings and Single-Site meetings. While at this meeting, we used the time to talk with ZDC about what they needed for the new Q and Y Routes to be implemented. ZDC has some airspace changes that need to be evaluated and gave us the info they have on the desired airspace changes. The week of Feb. 12, a ZNY Sector 85/86 meeting was held at ZNY. ZNY showed us a couple of Y-Routes they had designed to help the flows out of the NYC area to the south. We have taken these design concepts and will discuss these with ZJX to see if these two Y-Routes will work for them or if more work needs to be done. A lot of the remaining time has been spent evaluating the existing Q and Y-Route designs between ZDC, ZNY, and ZBW. It has been determined that there will be two separate implementations of the Eastern Q and Y-Routes. FL Metroplex will do the first implementation for the routes south of the ZDC/ZJX boundary in the fall of 2018. The second implementation will tentatively occur in the fall of 2019 for the routes north of the ZDC/ZJX boundary. We are tentatively scheduling a meeting with the northern Q and Y-Route facilities in early April 2018 to discuss everything.
