There will always be layovers there. All NB categories have layovers in every base with the same plane. Hopefully it'll reduce the super early departures (since locals supposedly love those).

AUS/SAT is definitely a pipe dream at this point; we have all but given up on even making AUS a focus city anymore after AA has swooped in and eaten our lunch there. It would have been great but I just dont see it happening. Look how long its taking BOS to open after we have actually declared it a hub and followed through with a lot of growth. AUS is basically just served from the hubs and at this point I doubt we have the necessary capacity to try and compete with AA there or WN for that matter.

This is certainly my hope, being a native NYer; BOS would for sure pull a lot of senior pilots from NYC who live in the New England area. At only 5.5 yrs I can hold left seat on everything in NYC up through 7ER; 764 (I hate saying 765) and 330 remain super senior. Im anxious to see how BOS opening would change the seniority dynamic for NYC.

That said, I don’t think smaller 320 bases in non-hub cities with significant amounts of service would be completely unviable, particularly as our NB fleets consolidate. Crew resources has alluded to it before. I don’t know that we’ll ever see it with our current management team though.
