For some reason I don't see them opening a BOS base, only to close it 3 months later. This has been discussed a few times before during a net conference. However, I could see them create a New York base, in other words JFK/LGA. You could start/end a trip in JFK or LGA. I wonder how many computers they could fit in the (closet) "crew room" in LGA
Do crew bases have to be approved by ALPA? I don't know if ALPA would go for a "NYC" base without getting something in return, as that's a HUGE advantage for the company (and money saver)!
