Shot with both barrels.
It's a pity that BOS and SFO have seen the classic MAN phenomenon of going from zero to too much capacity/competition in one hit. Either one of VS and TCX left alone on these routes would be successful and grow frequency. Instead, they are flying on the same days at the same time. Perhaps somehow the market will discourage over-provision without MAN losing the destination, leaving each airline to choose their own best and dedicated portfolio. NYC, MCO, LAS, and ORD are perhaps the only US cities which can sustain multiple providers out of MAN.
Interestingly, a friend recently flew MAN-PHL-BOS and return on AA and crowed about the experience, even when I pointed out that there were direct options.
