Says the nut who stalks me around the internet looking for a reason to be offended. When are you going to start charging me rent for that head space I occupy?
Don't mind this nut. Yes, we still have some of these guys here, but they'll all be retired very soon. 95% of the Delta pilots you encounter are a joy to fly with.

Snowflakes are supposed to be original.
BTW, When you dispense "iron clad" recommendations about careers, you should preface it with your curriculum vitae. Most investors don't search out the fund manager with the worst performance..... same logic here.

You're really taking this way too seriously. Is arguing with people on the internet your whole life? How sad.

He asked for opinions. I gave him one.
Then you show up and perpetuate the old DB Delta pilot stereotype and chase him away.

Not really a good rumor until 2019. At that point they were setting up the base and hiring staff. Covid hit and it all went away. I would be willing to make you a wager that within the next 18 months a bid is posted to open the base.

Just a data point, not an argument. This is Abuse, Argument is the second door on the left.

I'm betting they keep foot dragging on opening BOS as a base. It will rob too much from NYC and ramp congestion at the Taj Mullin is already a huge issue. They're already flying empty jets to nearby cities at night because of nowhere to park them at Logan.
What they really need to do is get rid of the RJs and upgauge everything to mainline, then continue to operate it virtually as an O and D hub.

And while it will "rob from NYC" that's actually a needed blessing. Its not so much "robbing" as it is shifting. In the medium to long run it will reduce churn by somewhat slowing the rate that pilots bid out by opening a far more desireable base for *some* pilots. Any amount of pilots that it robs are merely shifted to a more stable base with lesser outflow.
Where pilots start and finish their trips has nothing to do with where they park planes at night.

Also, regarding NYC, I'm not following how you think offering senior pilots "a more stable base" will make NYC more stable or easier to staff. Probably the only stable staffing in NYC right now are the pilots who live in PHL or BOS. Take BOS away and NYC is even harder to staff.
