I would like to go with DL, but unless DL makes BOS 'official,' I'd feel compelled to go with AA. The thought of telling DL 'TBNT' potentially only mere months from them announcing BOS is a bit nauseating.
Thanks in advance to anyone who's got some info/advice.
Free advice is worth what you pay, so take FWIW.
I’d say it is
extremely likely. They were no-kidding going to do it before Covid, and had actually hired the Chief Pilot and leased space at BOS for lounge/CPO. The ONLY reason it didn’t happen was Covid. Now, the delay is due to the rebuilding of the staffing after Covid (whole other story), and not disturbing that until conversions start right after summer ‘23. As further evidence, the brand new 321-NEO’s have been heavily put on BOS routes for a reason…
It is so much more than just a desired outcome.There is a ton of revenue there, and the widget is going after it. BOS will happen, barring some new, unforeseen black swan like WWIII.
And as someone said, even if you have to drive to NYC for a short time, it will be worth it. Over a career, bases can and do shift, but I absolutely would not go to AA as a hedge for a BOS base at DL. Just my 2cents. Good luck.
