I would certainly expect the terminal that houses all of UA and all of AA (BOS if of course one of the largest outstations for both) in addition to AS to have sufficient demand for full PreCheck at virtually all times. (Maybe at some times they won't have PreCheck at all checkpoints; I don't know.)

That third gate might have been important- I’m sitting on a plane that landed about 5 minutes late but we’ve been waiting 45 minutes for a gate. The departing flight had just started boarding when we got to the taxiway.
eta: we actually arrived early. The app updates the scheduled arrival time based on takeoff time and predictions, so I had to go look at my pdf itinerary. Still going to be at least a half hour later than originally scheduled.

Custom guac is a "feature" of the AC's - certain times, maybe certain days. I've had this at AC in ORD, BOS, SFO (pre-exclusion of AS), inter alios locos. Now that quid pro quo is in current use, maybe we can have more Latin on FT.

So granted we were 45 minutes early, but we've been on the ground stuck on the plane for a solid 30 minutes now. I don't remember these kinds of waits landing early at the old terminal.

Definitely had them at the old terminal last time I flew in (late Aug) as well. Arrived 30-40 mins early, pulled up to gate about 10 mins late. Sounds like that tight alleyway is worse, though.

We did eventually get off the plane about 10 minutes early. It's funny how arriving and sitting on the ground feels so much worse than being in the air longer instead.

So I'm on my return trip now and I'd agree with 10, but I'd say give yourself 15-20 if you've never been through this terminal before so that you aren't cutting it close if you get lost. I found some of the arrows on the signage kind of ambiguous as to where they were pointing and as a result managed to go down a couple of dead end gate areas. It wasn't that hard to get myself sorted out but it did cost me a few minutes I wouldn't have had if I'd set out from the Admirals Club exactly 10 minutes before boarding

Fun fun fun...I've been sitting on this plane bound for Los Angeles from Boston stuck on the ground for over 1.5 hours now because the Logan ground crew hit the ground side electrical connection, which led to having to swap out the pilot's avionics system. Now it's working but it took forever to get the paperwork done.
[edit] Finally pushing back 1h20m late. So with group B boarding, nearly two hours total butt in seat without even leaving the gate.
