Since you can’t bid for it, the override was a way for all pilots to get a taste, rather than a few who do all the 321 routes. The contract language is a ratio of the total hours flown by 321 to 320/319, if you further dilute that ratio with hours flown by the 220 as well, ain’t going to be much of an override left.
Thats a very good point. IF we had A220s on property, All A320 typed pilots should not want the A220 included, money out of your pocket. I have not thought about that angle but man it makes sense....and yes, I dont think anyone would be happy flying the A320s knowing their 321 override is diluted by those who dont even fly the 321...
