Default BOS Meltdown 7/31

Anyone else get caught up in Boston yesterday? Total disaster with gate space and ramp control. Mine was one of multiple aircraft held out for gates over two hours. This was AFTER we had airborne holding, diverted, reboarded and continued to BOS. One 321 was begging for a lab service as legs were full to nearly overflowing. They wouldn’t even find a way to come dump the lavs off the gate somewhere.

By the time we got a gate and opened the door we were within 15-20 minutes of violating the three hour DOT tarmac rule.

To think we are going to add even more flying and make BOS a “hub” makes me think it won’t go well, especially without the resources of a pilot base there to help staff IROPs like this.
