True but is this not a failing of market research?
I'm sure Skip could provide some analysis of how these things work but the whole premise just seems odd.

They must surely have had some data to support BOS?

And what of Newark starting daily but then reverting to 4 per week.

Lo Cos are notorious for bending to the best market conditions but these acute changes just seems a wee bit haphazard.
