TSA pay and shift schedule at Boston Logan International Airport
What a Transportation Security Officer is paid at BOS, and the shifts TSA publishes for this airport — from the agency’s own vacancy announcement and its own fact sheet.
TSA publishes a fact sheet for every airport it screens, and it sets out the tours worked at that one. Here is what BOS publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet states that Logan "maintains a 24 hours a day, seven days per week flight schedule" and that the airport is assessing candidates for both full-time and part-time positions. IT DOES NOT PRINT THE TOURS for either.
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. NEITHER THE TOUR NOR THE DAYS OFF ARE PUBLISHED FOR BOSTON. The fact sheet gives the operation - round the clock, seven days - and stops, so the calendar beside this is an example of the app rather than anything TSA has stated about BOS. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.
What is inside this figure. THE HIGHEST FIGURE IN THIS SECTION, AND THE LEAST DURABLE. TSA states in the same sentence that it carries locality of 32.58% AND a retention incentive of 20% of adjusted pay unique to Boston - and the announcement adds that "the continuation of the incentive portion of this hourly rate is contingent upon annual approval and funding". So a fifth of this figure can be withdrawn without the pay scale changing at all. Published as TSA publishes it, with the composition stated rather than folded in.

Starting pay at this airportA Transportation Security Officer at BOS starts at $62,662 a year, $30.02 an hour, on the SV-D band. That figure already includes this airport’s locality pay of 32.58%. The top of the advertised range, $77,257, is a ceiling and is not what a new screener is hired at.USAJOBS — Transportation Security Officer, BOS — "The salary range for Boston, MA (BOS - Boston Logan International) is $62,662 to $77,257 or $30.02 to $37.02 per hour and includes locality pay of 32.58%, and a retention incentive of 20% of adjusted pay that is unique to this duty location."

Questions
Is $62,662 before or after locality pay?
After. TSA states the range for BOS as $62,662 to $77,257 and says in the same sentence that it includes locality pay of 32.58%. The same band at an airport in a cheaper locality pays less.
What does TSA publish about the schedule at BOS?
NEITHER THE TOUR NOR THE DAYS OFF ARE PUBLISHED FOR BOSTON. The fact sheet gives the operation - round the clock, seven days - and stops, so the calendar beside this is an example of the app rather than anything TSA has stated about BOS.
