So I think your answer is no. It seems like it would help others to post this in another forum. Just a thought.
I'm not sure I agree that DL overshadows the rest. Maybe they have the most destinations, but lots of non DL passengers go through BOS. It seems like they were tied for 3rd by market share: 30.29% passengers on B6, 22.19% AA, 12.34% DL, 12.34% UA, 10.15% WN.

The point of this thread is for how the runway closure impacts DL operations through BOS, not everybody. Sure, can move this to a general aviation forum and most of us will never look in the thread again since it'll be cluttered with other airline info.

While I respect your thought, I disagree. Those of us flying DL in/out of Boston a lot this summer need airline-specific info — like the "act-like-there's-a-waiver" instruction. Also, help identifying patterns in what flights go and what flights are late.
I'll start:
MSP-BOS today, first flight delayed 90 minutes, second flight delayed 150 minutes, third flight delayed 120 minutes, fourth flight delayed an ESTIMATED 4h16.
Moral of this story, take the first flight of the day until further notice.

Impacts like LAX/SFO/BOS runway/taxiway construction affect each carrier at that airport differently, because each airline has to make the best decision for their overall operation as to which flights to operate on time, delay or cancel. The answer for each airline is going to vary as each airline has a different mix of aircraft sizes and missions to manage.
For DL, the top priority one might imagine would be international, then TCON, then Hub. Bottom priority is likely going to be regional jets.
For pax, the calculation is different. Right now, the best advice is probably - Don't connect in BOS.

Oh weather definitely played a part — but it's not weather alone. I've flown in and out of here probably 40-50 times over the past five years (no joke) and this is as bad as I've seen. Weather combined with construction is a bad combination.

I'm a bit confused: So, when will the construction end? I have a flight from BOS-SFO coming up in late July, and I'm getting concerned..
