Any news on Boston?

It’s probable that there is a chance that management may decide to possibly open a BOS base sometime in the near to distant future. Open ended memo language suggests no new bases/categories until later next year.

Bottom of the barrel in the AL East. Probably won't make the playoffs

Lead singer is dead. NOT getting back together.

Based on the 330 flying in Boston now I doubt a 330 base. It's to easy to build 6 day trips through Boston and eliminate credit time for the NYC base by combining a long leg (ATH, TLV, FCO) with a short leg (AMS, DUB, LHR). 6+ day trips out of NYC have at least tripled since Boston expansion.

Pretty sure the lease has been signed for the ‘office space’, timing to be determined…

Before they will open a 330 base in Boston the flying has to support it year round. Currently there are plenty of 330 departures to support a base in the summer. Not sure about the winter.

FAs have been told FCO and TLV going year round next year. Assuming both are still on the 330 that exceeds the company requirements for a base (CDG and AMS being the other two).

The problem with those 6 day trips (that flight ops "leadership" refuses to learn) is that two six day trips are all that can be awarded to a line holder to meet the construction window, after that, they can't be added via WS, and any WB B halfway aware knows not to have 6 days of LC available with six day trips in open time. These were the primo trips to roll thunder this last summer, especially because many were broken into two 4 day trips and handed out as GS. Fourth floor spreadsheet ninjas know what's best though.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh
