BOS Reserves
Some questions for the current/prior BOS folks...
Do BOS reserves cover any other airports? Seems like SC tends to go fairly senior with LC going junior. Is that normal or just a recent/summer thing? How's the flying as a reservist? Decent trips? Used much? I'll also take any commuter info. I'll be commuting from DTW if anyone has specifics on that. Looks like 12 flights/day on DAL, JB, and Spirit. Thanks! |
Assuming you're talking about AA and not jetblue, why would you go to BOS if you're commuting from DTW? BOS is incredibly senior. From DTW, PHL and LGA are far better options.

MIA is likely what I'll choose as I'm on the edge of holding a line and the commute is decent. I'm looking at BOS mostly because it's the easiest commute for me from DTW. 12 flights/day between DAL, JB, and Spirit. 19 JSs/day on those flights. Only have to cover BOS and, at least recently, LC has been going junior. |

Long call goes junior bc a lot of senior guys live in base and bid short call. |

Is that fairly normal though or just a seasonal thing?

You gotta cover 3 airports in MIA also. Why not ORD though?
BOS is a great base but hard to predict what you will get if you are junior. If you get a bad line there’s not much OT to swap it out with. I would strongly reconsider NYC if you have any type of seniority. You can trade pretty easily if you get a bad trip/airport. |
