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.

This is spot on

Almost certainly the A320. Its been said consistently, and it also makes a lot of sense for networking, fleet flow and crew positioning and hotel savings.

Therefore it won't be the A320, and instead, at the last possible minute, it'll be whatever soon to go away fleet that's getting new interiors (764, 717, ER?) only to be closed a year or two later to generate the MD's necessary for another beloved 365 to provide the flexibility to power out of the very manning crisis that opening then closing a base caused in the first place.

Canihaz MIP?

You might want to ask that on the AA forum.

AA is now up to almost 50 non-stop destinations from AUS.

But hey, we really flexed our strength there by adding a couple of A220 flights to SEA and BOS.

SBS
shiny base syndrome

How many years have we been hearing about a return of the BOS base? 10 at least. Most of the previous BOS folks are retired now.

Yes indeed, this reeks of "free beer tomorrow sign"

If/when JB decides that operating international from BOS and JFK won't work, then a BOS base will go back on a back burner faster than last weeks dinner.

A plethora of events could happen between now and the end of next summer (many of which haven't even been thought of yet) that could/would change this declaration.
