In a very D fashion…they will probably announce BOS A220 :p. And SLc will be waiting for WB forever.
Cause that's coming. |

The 73n has 9 departures and the 220 has 8. If all of those were on the 320 along with the new additions (CUN, PSP, MIA, SDJ, whatever else they added) the maybe it’s a possibility, but with 21 departures I don’t see it happening. Maybe they want the schedule reliability or they have more gates they picked up and have a few more announcements, but I am not getting my hopes up. It’s fun to dream though.
Side note - how would one look up the number of departures a day? Tried finding the exact number and failed miserably. |

How many NB flights out of BOS and still not a base? AUS has a long way to go.

BOS has more 320 departures than SEA, and 15% more 320 departures now then they did pre-Covid when they were going to open BOS320.

Clearly it's not all about departures. Geography, timezones, proximity to bases, impact on AE behavior, long term fleet planning, etc etc
But who I’m am? Just a pilot…which I see the same things over and over again and the excuse is “we are going to do a cross division meeting and see how we can improve reliability”. More crew bases is an easier solution. |

WX should be a factor too. When WX hits TX is on the way to AtL. When WX hits FL, gets the whole Jax Center screwed up…

Currently SEA has just over 5 more departures per day than BOS on average, 160v155 BOS has more 320 departures per day, approximately 31v28 (Note: this spread will increase when Hawaii flying goes to the 757 for winter, Note 2: Whenever the flat bed NEOs arrive BOS gains 3+ departures per day from the 757) BOS has more RJ flying each day, approximately 58v50 (I can't speak for SEA, but many of these RJ routes out of BOS could support a 220 or bigger) BOS also has more 220 departures per day, approximately 19v17, and more 330 daily departures than SEA, MSP, and DTW Clearly BOS deserves more categories, but for whatever reason they are "scared to open them". Let's see what happens when the additional gates arrive in 26/27. With NYC being in perpetual IROP, we know it makes sense to have a better relief valve in BOS |
