I assume they would have had to fly one in from the west coast on another airline or they found a spare in one of the other east coast cities (maybe FA spending a few extra days for vacation?) and flew them on another airline up to BOS.
12 hours, so they probably used an FA from the inbound a/c and then deadheaded one on another airline for the next day maybe. Isnt the rest requirement 9 hours? I think thats the Federal requirement or it used to be but I dont know what the AS contract with the union is
