The FA BOS base isn't closing. This comes from a very reliable source.

IMHO I don't see them closing a pilot domicile and leaving a FA domicile in the same place.

They've done it before. But, in this case they jumped the gun with the base closure.... mostly out of anger about the union shooting down their TA. Within an hour of being notified that the TA (co-domicile TA) was not going to be approved.... the displacement/vacancy bid went out... on a Sunday night. Can you say "****ed off and over reacted without thinking."

yeah i'm curious at how they're going to be handling themselves with people in the pool. I was one of the 30 some people in the May 26th class that was cancelled. so hopefully I'm one of the first they call to redo the interview/sim to see if they still want me.

I flew to kingman last weekend and I saw more than 10 planes parked (saab340 and e-135)with American Eagle colors.So I wonder if they will start hiring next year.

Those parked planes were all planned and expected. Its impossible to say if or when we will hire again...but eventually it will have to happen. We lose 25 people a month. They have to be replaced. As long as gas doesn't spike again I would expect hiring to commence in the near future. A few months to a year.
