DL's BOS Shuttle going to Airbuses

[slapstick]

Effective around June, A319's will replace the 88's, flown by MSP/DTW crews. No plans to open a NYC 320 category.

No decline in NYC MD88 lines - they'll pick up RJ routes that need bigger gauge.

DCI from the marine terminal to MDW changing to ORD this summer, too.

Yo Yo Yo, word.....

Thank God! They put a smaller plane on it and it was still mainline! The 88 was the smallest we had prior to the merger, so this is a plus.

I read the hopes are for the LGA-ORD stuff to be a "Shuttle" and flown hourly, with hopes of it eventually being a mainline airplane.

Maybe the RJ wave has truly crested. Lets hope DCA goes to some 319's too!

This sucks for NYC 88 drivers!

 

[ugasucks]

This sucks for all 88 drivers!

 

[ACL65PILOT]

I am sure there will be plenty of flying for them to do.

This is great news. It'll also be alot nicer for any Bos commuters with the double jumpseat.

I read that it'll be fed with MSP and DTW crews, I wonder if MEM bus guys will be doing any of the BOS shuttle?

Don't get too excited, ORD-MSP went to 7 RJ's a day from 3, cutting 4 mainline flights. AA and UA have moved in the opposite direction, replacing RJ's with 737's and A320's.
