This has been the case for SEA-BOS-SEA (AS12) and SFO-BOS-SFO (AS1352) since January, and for SEA-BOS-SEA (AS1441) since October.
Starting Jan 9th, 2023, the BOS flights are all being renumbered, adding some more overlapping flight numbers (this is the stable schedule for March):
SEA-BOS:
AS306 (7:35a), AS460 (3:40p), AS536 (9:40p)
BOS-SEA: AS459 (7:05a), AS537 (9:30a),
AS306 (5:00p)
PDX-BOS-PDX:
AS358
SFO-BOS:
AS356 (7:40a), AS546 (10:55p)
BOS-SFO: AS547 (7:00a),
AS356 (5:45p)
SAN-BOS-SAN:
AS390
Definitely a lot of other destinations that get the overlapping numbers, but BOS seems to have the most.
