The original message from BS was SEA, then BOS, then SLC.
Now it’s being said SLC before BOS.

All I‘m saying is that at one point in very recent history an official company representative said the order was SEA/BOS/SLC….now they are swapping the order of SLC and BOS.
MY guess is a 365 AE in 2Q2023 and they start converting people after the summer surge is over.

Good morning,
I am currently awaiting a class date, seems it’ll be mid January since I interviewed back in August. My goal is to be SLC based but am not sure which airframe to make my top preference on the class drop. Are there significant differences with trips, staffing, QOL and such between the 737, 320, or the 220 in SLC?

They don't want to open it as a single category (320), so they are waiting a bit to do 330 and 320 simultaneously. This is to avoid folks possibly bidding 320 then right back to the 330. Recently there have been rumors they are considering BOS for the 220 as well.
I'm guessing this is to set up for summer of '24 more so, even if the category/categories open in '23. Originally BOS was listed as a 2023 or 2024 opening. I'm speculating that since the NEOs aren't going across the atlantic during summer '23 (supposedly because the deliveries have slipped to the right by many months) there isn't as much of a rush as perhaps there was earlier in the year.

My guess would be SLC330 shows up on an AE very early in 2023 to offer an option for the SEA 7ER closure and then we could see BOS320 open on an AE posted towards the end of summer 2023 thereby minimizing the number of new categories in one AE.

The "BOS base" is merely a carrot to keep the Boston pilots from bidding away from NYC. If they were to open a Boston base, it would directly and immediately affect their ability to staff NYC. This base has been "about to open" for about six years now. I'm not holding my breath.
