Quoting American 767 (Thread starter): Does AA have a future in BOS as a hub? |
Quoting Miami (Reply 2): Now, I don't think AA and DL at BOS would make a ton of sense, I'd think one airline is enough. They'll be fighting for it. But of course, that's if AA wants to fight. Which I believe they should. They are the 'World's Largest Airline' which would make sense to do so. |
Quoting Shields (Reply 6): I'm not sure that I'd call BOS anything more than a focus city--there is not much connectivity (mostly because of Boston's geography), and with the exception of a few legacy US cities (Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg) there isn't even much service to spokes. |
Quoting airbazar (Reply 7): BOS will never be any more than a focus city |
Quoting iyerhari (Reply 8): Currently US Airways shuttle only serves PIT, MDT, SYR, BUF, ROC in addition to their hubs. |
Quoting American 767 (Thread starter): With AA and US combined, BOS is now more than a focus city for AA |
Quoting American 767 (Thread starter): DCA, JFK/LGA combined and LAX are. |
Quoting iyerhari (Reply 8): PIT, MDT, SYR, BUF, ROC |
Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 10): I would imagine AA will consolidate on the US side at some point...but maybe not. No real need to. Connections aren't an issue |
Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 10): hubs (including LHR |
Quoting 727LOVER (Reply 3): Was AA operating BOS-NRT? What happened to that? |
Quoting airbazar (Reply 7): Not much domestic connectivity but loads of international connectivity. BA, JL, CX, IB, and soon QR. |
Quoting b777900 (Reply 16): I hope AA adds BOS-LHR on the new 773 |
Quoting American 767 (Thread starter): With AA and US combined, BOS is now more than a focus city for AA. |
Quoting jfklganyc (Reply 10): I don't even think it is termed a focus city. |
Quoting B757capt (Reply 17): Let's not forget the BOS-CDG trip that AA files. |
Quoting ROCDLFAN (Reply 22): MDT is a ticking time bomb waiting to be cut. |
Quoting ROCDLFAN (Reply 22): However, if BUF and ROC were to be cut, I could see DL jumping on both- competition with B6 on the route out of BUF, and another market they would have control of out of ROC. It helps that DL is the largest carrier at ROC, and the 2rd largest in BUF. |
Quoting by738 (Reply 26): GLA is looking for a BOS service and thought AA would have been a perfect fit |
Quoting rtalk25 (Reply 32): I know Deloitte has a delivery center in Camp Hill |
Quoting airbazar (Reply 31): That was the old AA. The new AA is essentially US Airways and there's no way they are abandoning BOS. |
Quoting wn676 (Reply 42): US still operates seasonal BOS-CUN/MBJ/PLS/PUJ which somehow managed to survive all these years. Any guesses as to what the merged AA might have in store for these routes? |
Quoting jetblue1965 (Reply 43): BOS-LAX/SFO could become the next major battleground. |
Quoting chrisnh (Reply 46): UA is reasonably protective of BOS-SFO, and they would be especially protective if AA and/or DL came in (again). |
Quoting chrisnh (Reply 46): And AA is 'winning' BOS-LAX with a cadre of 737-800s. Either that's a really great trans-con aircraft, or AA doesn't feel they really have to try (i.e. turn them into A321s). |
Quoting irishayes (Reply 47): UA dropped LAX-BOS seasonally, so that could be why |
