Not looking forward to the commute. Though FWIW I had heard from union offical that they do not think it will close. So we'll see.

Well, the way it reads it sounds like I'm being terminated. However, there are office people that are getting the axe not any pilots, yet anyway. So yes it does tell of terminations and furloughs as well as base closures.

The contract requires them to provide 60 days notice of a base closure, and the Fed law makes em send WARN notices... doesn't mean they are going to do anything... it just keeps their options open as they can't do anything without the notices. Still status quo.
They are still trying to figure in the 1,000 additional hours in the northeast, and the fact that they HAVE to use or lose the slots at LGA.. so, nothing is a done deal, but they had to send the notices to keep the option available. Once they re-evaluate everything again, don't be surprised to see BOS stay open (but much smaller)...
Sometime this month we'll probably get another notice saying the closure has been pushed back another month.... just like they did last month.
