let’s not get dramatic.
We aren’t exactly losing money and BOS is probably going to get slot restricted if not gate restricted.
Delta did the same thing to Alaska in SEA. They carved out a nice % for themselves but there is room for both.

One company makes so much in their other fortress hubs to support a mediocre BOS, the other company doesn't have another fortress hub...
My opinion.

And? Are they still not the most profitable airline in the world? Still not a 995lb gorilla? Can they still not afford to run losses in BOS indefinitely?
A dramatic recession MIGHT change that, but to be honest we don't know how Delta in it's current form will perform in a recession now. Nothing is the same.

But what is it that you want to happen. As you said they could run losses forever. We could give everyone PS, plus pay for their kids college boost morale get back the JD power award fly every flight early give Joanna a ticker tape parade and there would be Delta running at a loss to hurt our margins. I just don’t understand what you want to see us do. I guess we could grow real fast but that will definitely hurt our margins. It’s not like we are giving up on Boston heck they even acknowledged that they need to fight for it.
Fix the formula, make it generous. The company will only pay it when they can afford to, but it will motivate people knowing they have a stake.

All we need to do is improve the PS formula. If we don't get PS because the company is losing money, or a small check when earnings are slim, I am fine with that. What I have a problem with is a formula that all but guarantees a tiny check even when we are crushing it.
