Living in BOS: DAL or B6
For a hypothetical person with a family who has to live in BOS and has two job offers, which would you pick? How commutable is DAL with the new contract? Would driving to work at B6 beat commuting to NYC or ATL at DAL to make more money and enjoy arguably better work rules and a better contract across the board?
I know the two airlines are kind of in different classes, but does having to live in BOS change the conversation at all?
How about that decades-old rumor of DAL opening a BOS pilot base?

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.
