I'd be interested to see what they do with Boston. They had some good times there back in the day...it's sad to walk those corridors now.
DL still does not consider LAX a hub even if it has more flights than SEA (a hub). In my point, I am going by what what I feel is defined as a hub (not AA's marketing department considers hubs). A focus city is defined as an airline has service to several destinations other than its hubs. Thus, BOS meets this definition.
With so many hubs in the northeast (JFK/LGA, DCA, PHL), BOS could be vulnerable.
