Sit in the nice corridor landside to the right of the security checkpoint overlooking the B1-3 gates... Great white rocking chairs with a good view of the tarmac and outlets to plug in and charge your electronics.
When you see the inbound plane pulling up, you can walk through security and get on the plane. I did it twice this past weekend and it made the flight delays more bearable (the free night at the Four Seasons Boston in between probably helped too, thanks to Amex flight delay insurance)

I've only ever connected in BOS (never been to the city), and all but one of those times was AC to AC, so I've definitely spent some time in that penalty box.

Why is likely for EYW, as cow is an enthusiastic participant, but I'm treading too closely to speaking on his behalf here.

I'm guessing EYW (Earn Your Wings) promotion.

In the opposite direction, the layover is under 3 hours.
In any case, AC has tough competition with WS' nonstop flights during Summer. They are really much faster.
