thanks!
Looking at AA's data it looks like 1/3 of the BOS showed up in the last year. That can't continue unless they announce BIG plans for BOS. That might be why the BOS class drops are dwindling...the bodies are already in town. That door shutting can last a LONG time in BOS which is why many BOS guys have flown out of NYC over the years. BOS would stagnate and be senior while LGA was junior. The risk was bidding out and not being able to bid back into BOS as the few openings went senior. It's like the stock market "past performance isn't a guarantee of future performance" but if it happens again, like it has multiple times in the last 35 years, don't be surprised. Right now the only guarantee is retirements and you then hope that the overall manning remains stable which means openings are created by each retirement. Good luck.
