Nonetheless, I would not expect to see many cuts in service as a result of this expansion specifically...maybe some, but not a great deal.
Sure, there are drawdowns in the off seasons, but the expansion at BOS is nothing short of HUGE. They're increasing by about 30%. And it is going to carry through the summer. These aren't seasonal winter changes; they are additions to the year-round schedule. The new Caribbean flights are reasonably long turns and mostly day-time trips.
There just isn't that much slack in the system. DEN has already been identified as losing some service and I'm sure there will be other cuts to figure out.
I'm sure that there will be cuts at JFK - more like a winter schedule than a summer schedule - because of the runway construction so that will likely handle some of it.
