Are we sure it's still going to be BOS only to start or has covid changed things?

SL said the other day it works in BOS best pre and post covid in their network planning. So I’d guess BOS. I also think LAX will be the next 220 base after BOS.

We haven’t even finished training the new hires from 2020. Easy there, hiring in 2021 sounds way too optimistic

And a 29 knot x-wind limit. I could probably handle that!

Are you kidding me 29kts X-wind limit? Good luck trying to land in some NE cities in the winter. I never heard of an airliner with such a low x-wind limit.

Hahaha don’t you and Joe wish. That would be awesome though. I thought the DCA base was happening in 2 years?

It’s a company restriction. Not sure what it’s approved to by the feds.

If there was going to be a new base I really hope it would be somewhere better than DC. How about SLC or LAS or BNA? Anywhere other than the high taxed over populated areas in the NE or Cali.
