abso-efen-lutely correct... and eventually, they will realize the cost of the hotel rooms for all the kickoff flights in BOS is more than the cost of keeping a crew room, a chief pilot and an inflight office.

True, but then we can expect an email that says something like this....
"due to economic circumstances, the cost savings of opeing a small Boston domicile, will allow the company to better position itself for future growth. A Boston base will allow more profitability, and enhance the marketability of Eagle for possible spin-off or sale. Therefore, a new simultaneous vacancy/displacement bid will be issued by XX date. All crew members are advised to ensure their preferences are properly noted and displayed in their 3*."
But, it won't happen until more of the senior BOS CA's retire/resign. Many have sufficient time in, and are commuting for the first time. A few have already gone, and the company will hold out until more drop.

When making that entry, the key word is "delamination."

Yep, huge savings there... no place to rest or do manuals and revisions... fatigue rates are through the roof, as well as AML entries requiring grounding. You all do have copies of the EMB service bulletin on radome paint chips.... correct?

I would think that is a requirement and guys/gals there could stop working until they get the proper tools to do their jobs. Its unbelievable that there is still no crew room.
Its going to cost them in the long run.

Wasn't all of this over 10 years ago? Why are you still complaining about it. Were you even there in those days?
