36 on the property. Mostly 3, sometimes 4, per month until we have all the AT frames. Rumored to be open to picking up more as they become available.

BOS is one of the best markets in the country. JB was on the fence about trying to add it as a dot on their route map when all the sudden they were offered an entire terminal (thanks to DL) and almost overnight became the biggest airline in Boston history, taking over the Red Sox sponsorship to boot.
Its extremely affluent, everyone there travels, and it puts to shame almost every other town that dares to attempt to call themselves a "college town" and it has the air travel inertia per capita that few can match. They have more built in affluent travelers per capita than probably any other large city in the country by a wide margin. It is as close to "recession proof" as you can get in this industry.
IMO we need to kick CAL out and utilize every gate and find a way to get customs to staff it like it was designed for from the beginning. I'd think RA has a lot more clout to get something that basic and federal done. It would also help Boston and MA. If a few palms have to be greased, so be it. We paid 350M for a skinny sheet metal bridge in LGA and 1.5 Billion for a net 5 or 6 gates in JFK. I think we can get customs to locate to A in BOS for a lot less than that.
Its time to own that amazing market again and pry JB's crown jewel right out.

With the offensive in Seattle and now Boston, are we pushing Alaskan & Jet Bleu into a competition-induced merger?

OK Boeing and Import Export Bank, top this:
Given the prohibition against usury (with some exceptions) a Sharia compliant agreement could be quite the interesting legal document.
Boeing says it is not worried about losing ExIm financing...
(Reuters) - Airbus Group and the Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB) are seeding a sharia-compliant aircraft leasing fund to cater to growing demand for commercial financing from airlines in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
The fund, which will exclusively finance Airbus aircraft, has a target size of $5 billion and could help boost the European planemaker's edge against rival Boeing in the fast growing commercial airline market in the Gulf region.
The European planemaker developed the fund together with Dubai-based Quantum Investment Bank and Palma Capital, and will seed it together with the IDB. Cayman-based International Airfinance Corporation will serve as fund manager.
Gulf airlines such as Etihad Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways have transformed the aviation industry over the last decade through aggressive expansion, while Islamic finance is a growing element to win business in the region.
"Our main goal is to attract new sources of capital to our industry for the benefit of our customers. Our market has become a lot more international, in particular in the financial market," Yann Ballet, head of project and structured finance at Airbus Group, told Reuters.
With an order book that is heavily weighted towards Middle East and Asia, Airbus was keen to develop an Islamic finance solution to cater to that part of the world, he added.

But Schinfeld said he’s still hoping for last-minute approval, probably in the lame-duck session of Congress after the fall elections.
