Anybody from A90 here? I'm wondering how you guys handle your areas. Do newcomers get assigned one particular area, or does every controller work every position?

I tried to get to A90 a year ago or so and toured. They absorbed Cape Tracon and have “sectorized”the airspace. Now they pretty much have two areas you can be assigned. Each area will have a few overlapping positions. You will be assigned what they need most likely unless you worked Cape I would guess.

This. The two shared areas share Boston Departure. Placement is based on current need and training backlog.

Interesting. Is Boston arrivals a separate area or is that just part of one of the main areas?

Boston arrivals come from both the south and north. Both areas feed the final. Final is worked only by the north area.
