Why haven’t you gone to the bus? You’d be around 65%, have a decent schedule, and be at $151 vs $118. I’d take a month in JBU and being 2/3 down the list on the bus vs 1/3 down the list on the 190, personally. If I were in your shoes I’d go to the bus now and upgrade when you can on the 220 or 320.
As for 320 upgrade time in BOS for someone hired 3 years ago? Assuming you’re around 3100 now? I’d bet 3-5 more years, or when you’re around 3000/5000 on the list. Once a decent amount of 220 CA seats open, presumably in 2023, I think it will be a smaller gap in seniority than the 190 and 320 is and cause the 320 CA to go a little more junior on a percentage basis. Until then, I see a ton of senior 190 guys continuing to go over to the 320 and keeping that upgrade time/overall percentage high.
