This, what I was referring to earlier.

thanks. Good to hear it's being talked about and could become a reality. Planning on coming over from JB so trying to manage BOS expectations.

I mean, currently 41% of the entire list on the FO side is holding an upcoming outbound base transfer, so…

so good news for a NH FO wanting BOS but a crawl up the list after that... assume CA will stray very senior for a while. If 321 came to BOS would that be growth most likely complementing the 73?

Exactly, and worse case you have an easy commute to PHL or LGA, or even DCA or CLT. 4 commute choices that are way easier than what 90% of commuters do. BOS is a great base, super nice FA's, can't speak for the pilots as I'm an AB guy and have never flown with them, but the FA's are very nice and very professional. Seems to be a tight knit group. I'm guessing the pilot side is like that too.

Mentioned again in Friday’s weekly, along with narrative that management is working to accelerate the timeline to add A320 to BOS.

It's in a CCI message. You might need to be based in either NY or BOS to get it.

There seems to be mixed rumors about whether the 320 would be an additional fleet or a replacement fleet. i.e. 737 and 320, or just 320.

The newsletter implies the latter by saying they want to make BOS "an A320 base," and that it would be a "better solution than what we have now."

I wish they would clarify, because I hear guys talking about it and many are assuming there will be both fleet types in BOS.
