(A June 2011 bid or an after summer bid fits nicely with their commentary.)

As of late, there were approx. 18-24 daily NYC departures on the M88 and about 53 daily departures on the 320 fleet in NYC.

Base will come the CPO says, its just a matter of when. Its said there is concern with lot of training created from M88 guys living in BOS jumping ship to the 320 to get the layos at home on the shuttle back.

Add to it that the slot swap isn't done, and there will be even more M88 and 320 flying that will influence how to staff bases appropriately.
