Brings up an interesting issue. I know Alaska got rid of their JFK pilot base, so assuming they don't have one at BOS with even with less volume there. Could it be the only way to get a new flight BOS-LAX to accommodate the stranded passengers would be to cancel a flight from BOS to somewhere else? Just not sure Alaska is going to have spare planes or extra crew available at BOS.
