BOS would definitely be more of a senior base if it happened. The LGA possibility though is very real IMO. I think Delta and American already operate a JFK/LGA base system don't they?
I am guessing that it would take 8 or 9 years to hold FO in CVG provided we don't call everyone back and upgrade a billion people.

Here are some questions regarding a BOS base:
Why?
-We do not have any significant increases in flying in BOS specifically over the next few months so why open a new base.
-Didn't we close two bases to become more cost effective?
Why not?
-If you look at it in terms of DCI coverage, strengthening a position in the Northeast with a BOS base is a smart move. One step further, as CRJDriver suggested, is a co-base with LGA. Conversely, this would fall in line with an eventual decline of CVG with Mesaba and Pinnacle having a firm presence in the midwest.
I think CVG is about to get very senior very fast.

Pilots.... always so positive.... I think we should all be taking this as a good thing for the future of Comair. It does present some hardships for some, but isn't growth that name of the game???? For all you CMR bashers out there go fly somewhere else if you're not going to be happy about GROWTH!!!!
