The reason for no new crew base is because of the economy and the uncertainty of our level of flying after august. Once they get the fall schedule, they should be able to determine if we can open a BOS base.
Makes sense! The BOS flying is too unpredictable, it is only a focus city for Delta and I'm expecting to see a decrease in flying out of BOS come this fall, especially when Southwest moves in. Delta only cares about the international stuff, because that is where the money is, all the domestic flying is getting passed down to the regionals or reduced. The fact is RP and Comair doesn't even know what's going to happen! Furloughing, recalling, opening/closing bases all costs money!
