So four flights a week (the fourth frequency on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) are being cut? Along with any departure after 2120? (BOS has forever had a 2230ish departure). Plus the late westbound departure is moving up an hour.
What happens after March?

BOS-LAX is fine in (relative) isolation - I did it in May, but was only connecting on to SFO and had stayed overnight at BOS. Coming off a long-haul and/or with onward HNL connection might be a bit much.

And BA have found them incredibly popular with their passengers, there's no difficulty filling them up. A small part of that is that nervous flyers seem to have a strong preference for new aircraft, which I admit is illogical on every level, but some 20-30% of flyers are apparently in this category.

I totally agree, the best combination of aircraft and crewing in BA's fleet, my only disappointment is they didn't hit on this fantastic improvement 5 years earlier. Unfortunately the usual choice is between unrefurb'd jumbos and a motley collection of 777 frames in various formats.
