Excellent post!!

My understanding is that they are working out ‘office space’ and will be ready very soon. It looked like this fall, but I will be shocked if it’s not be the end of next summer.

I wouldn’t be shocked if Miami base opens first.

I would be.

I would definitely like a MIA (or MCO for that matter) base but I would be shocked if the next base we open isn’t BOS.

just looking at the two cities FLL/MIA can probably justify a base but BOS definitely has more departures, especially to non hub airports.

1Q 2023 is what we are hearing

320 for sure
330 possibly in the running as well

All depending on training capabilities

BOS definitely needs a 330 base more than SLC. There were 5 of them in BOS one day last week

How do you all see a BOS 320/330 base shaking up the seniority in the other bases? NY becomes ridiculously Jr in both seats? How about the other bases?

my guess is BOS would be our second most junior base, with most BOS based pilots bidding in from NY.

if my seniority were similar I would rather commute to BOS than NY and I’m sure others feel similarly, even though BOS is a farther flight
