PWA 1.B.23 defines a "hub" as having monthly average of at least 100 Delta schedule flight departures per day. It lists the hubs as ATL, CVG, DTW, JFK, LGA, LAX, MSP, SEA, SLC.
Delta reduced flights out of CVG back around 2015-2017 and referred to CVG as a "focus city" around that same time.
There was a caveat of SEA not being considered a hub with regards to the Alaska Marketing Agreement.
I think when folks say "domicile" I think they really mean "base". The PWA 2.A.31 defines base as "location a pilot is assigned".
So BOS is now a Hub due to average number of Delta departures, its a FA base, but not a Pilot base.
