As posted above, these city pairs are prone to heavy ATC delays killing the "quick turn" business model of WN.
It's amazing how history repeats itself. When WN entered the northeast at BWI, all the comments were "Wait till they get a taste of all the delays and winter weather - they'll turn tail and run". Look at BWI now. When WN enter PHL, the comments were "Wait till WN gets a taste of those PHL delays, they'll never make it work". WN's still there.
I mis-remembered the number of daily flights US will run - it's 16 with all but 2 using the E190. That's just looking a Wednesday in the middle of July for PHL-BOS. So over 1600 seats/day on US, at least weekdays.
