Default Phl-bos

Hi all, im not a usual commuter (as in I dont commute) but I need to get up to boston from PHL in the next few days and notice theres a butt load of flights on JB (among other carriers) but I rather try for JB. Are there a decent amount of people that try to get up to BOS or is there a good chance to get to and from via jumpseat? Thanks

I commute on JetBlue every week on that route. There's 6 flights a day each way this month which is nice...usually it's 4 or 5. I usually get a seat, except for either Thursday night or Friday night when it's mostly full. There's a handful of JetBlue pilots, but the good thing is they could take the F/A jumpseat if needed to get an offline pilot on. You are able to check the loads 24 hours prior after you check-in.

I commuted that route for 3+ years. AA is always full. When you make your listing on JB make sure to check-in immediately at the 24 hour mark via the JetBlue app or online.

Lately that flight never makes it. Planes break and they always end up in JFK.

It never makes it?

Lemme guess. 3 months ago you heard a PHL-BOS flight divert to JFK and in your head that equated to that flight never making it.

Just looking at flightaware, aside from Tues (winter storm Stella cancellations) the flights miraculously have been making it!

AA runs a 330 phl-bos in the winter. Doubt it's full.
