The ASMs on the fleet are probably higher out of SEA. That being said, I firmly believe BOS will open eventually. I just doubt it happens until they can get the training churn to slow down. IMO, thats unlikely while we are still hiring 200 a month and they are having trouble filling ER A positions in NY.

Yes, it would "take" NYC pilots. However in doing so, it would also take those pilot positions while providing a very desireable (to some) base. Either way there would be some dust to settle. Short term, since it would be a new category open for anyone on anything to bid, it would increase training for a bit. Ultimately IMO it would reduce training, as it would be a net reduction in the evergreen NYC exodus because it would shrink NYC in the process proportionally, as well as being a net training reducer long term as it would provide a desireable base a certain number of existing pilots would want to bid and stay.
I think the company wants it and knows it will save them money in the long run. The main variable is shorter term training capacity.
