Exactly - that was a dead give away that it was about to open.

This will drive lots of movement which is a good thing

Lurking DM passenger here who wanted to say congratulations to y'all and hope it drives lots of upward mobility. I don't live in BOS but get there often so I'm excited at the potential based on this announcement. On the 330 side, Delta is opening a Delta One lounge there this fall (JFK one opened just a week ago, LAX and SEA coming late this year/early next) so hopefully that bodes well for increased international service.

Also looking forward to the growth prospects on the narrowbody side (displacing RJs, etc.) on the 220, 320 or what have you. Yet BOS does have its challenges with space (gates, simultaneously running things out of both A and E now) so we'll see I guess.

Cheers!

Well it hasn't opened yet... we'll see when it does. It sounds like posting in AEs "over the next few months," which makes me think it won't be on this Friday's AE.

Im happy for anyone that lives in the northeast for this base, good for you guys its awesome to be based at home flying a widebody. I feel like dtw 330 base will get screwed over again like usual because of this base but I hope Im wrong.

the fact they mentioned LAS means they're talking about it.

I believe this is the first of many changes we'll see in Flight Ops in the next few years. I think SLC WB is coming soon as well.

They also said last year that BOS was not being looked at, so all these means is Florida, Austin or Vegas is not being looked at today. Just Rember tomorrow is a day away!

It just blows my mind that 6 months ago they said no BOS for years and now how about a WB base!

Me thinks network needs to stop smoking meth

I think we are owed an explanation about how negative they were for BOS. Not just negative, but HARD negative. What other flip flops should we expect? Why the secrets?
