A UA 757 could give full flat in J, more capacity, but still no individual IFE in Y, and no PY. Service delivery would probably slip compared to Privatair, but food would probably be the same. In the sum of things maybe not the worst idea out there.
But I don't know if UA has spare lift around.

Since airlines have been dropping A340s like they were the plague, it should not be impossible to find a spare one somewhere. If they want to go that much up in capacity on the Boston route..
Hope not!

Prefer another ex-LAN over a glorified short-haul aircraft. Although if they where to get another long haul aircraft, I can think of more suitable destinations than BOS.

The A359 deliveries will create some breathing space for the network, assuming they won't retire any A343 (other than LN-RKP of course). Considering that oil will not go above 60$ in the near future I'm sure SAS will hold onto their A343 fleet for some time to come (my personal guess is 2020-25).

Lease extended until October (http://www.check-in.dk/sas-overvejer...a-boston-rute/)
So either the route will close down for the winter - or SAS is trying to get another bird on the route.

I guess the big issue is that SK doesn't ticket any connections from BOS.
