At first I thought maybe BOS was there because it is a FA base, but no other FA bases are there? My guess is that CRF is for the CRAF (Civil Reserve Air Fleet), which has had folks temporarily in it in years past. I can't imagine MAC is for Military Air Command, the predecessor to the current Air Mobility Command, which has been defunct for 30+ years (though amazingly, there is overlap with DBMS's existence, lol)...

I don’t know if BOS has always been there, but it is now.

that has been there since I was hired in 2020. I assume it was coded back when BOS 320 was a “sure thing” scheduled to open after summer 2020

I’m 99% sure the last base we opened was MCO express almost 30 years ago. But we sure have closed several in that time span.

I agree that is how they will do it for seat locks, but I think anyone who gets BOS within 12 months qualifies for a paid move.

Probably most that will bid it live in BOS or close enough, that don’t want to move.

Now…FL on the other hand, I can see a bunch of people close to retirement would bid it just to move. Thats probably the reason why they haven’t opened one up.

But IMO, if Delta wants to grow, they have to open pilot bases regardless if they want or not. There so much flying ATL can hold, they will have. I also believe BOS will open because they are doing a Delta 1 lounge. You can’t promise reliability without full staffing, specially if you’re looking for HVC and business travelers.

Worked like a charm. Thank you.
