The microhops such as EWR-PHL are the first flights to be cancelled/delayed the second ATC issues arise in the northeast. I am surprised that the stats are as good as they are for your flight.
Why not simply book EWR-BOS on UA or take Amtrak. Lots of nonstop flights and the Acela is pleasant, if a bit longer (although not so sure with the routing you propose).
Moderator: could you please move this to the post-merger forum?
I'm not expecting food/hotel...just wondering what my reaccomodation flight options are. My first choice would be EWR-BOS on UA that night, followed by LGA/JFK-BOS on US/AA the next morning, followed by EWR-PHL-BOS the next morning.
Amtrak is a tough sell at that hour, since I need a rental car and BOS is the only place in Boston with rental cars at midnight-ish. (I know, Silver Line to the airport, but it's another step...)
