BOS is a jr base, and we only fly the ERJ out here. QOL in BOS is pretty good if you live within about 2hrs. Reserve in BOS usually runs about 6-9 months until you can hold some sort of line, so its not too bad. The lines have varitety, some are day trips, 2days, 3days, or 4days. Its a smaller base and the crews are easy-going. The flying is fun and challenging running in and out of BOS/LGA/JFK/EWR/DCA all day when the weather is moving through. Upgrades are long, but i am guessing it will drop to about 4-5 years. They are really pushing to hire lots of FOs, so now is a good time to get in. Good luck!
