Do you think the company or an arbitrator is going to say that a A220 qualifies under the A321 override section because it’s an Airbus in name and that the ratio of A220 flying will not be used to dilute the block hours of A321 vs all flying, yet everyone gets paid?

Your example of planes brought back on lease doesn’t seem to be a relevant comparison on what this is. A more relevant example is a property who had a carve out for a 737 and that specific carve out was also paid to pilots of 757/767 or another Boeing aircraft. Is that common? I don’t know?

I would love everyone to get paid, that’s a no brainer. But someone posted that it would/could possibly dilute the override of guys actually flying the type, and it was an interesting point in the exercise of playing devils advocate.

I think it’s all moot anyways and they announce more A320 types.
Ignorant isn't an insult. Stupid is.

Any airframe that isn't a 321 will dilute the block hours. Period. The A220, nee C Series, is now majority owned by Airbus (50.01%), is marketed as an Airbus, is called an Airbus, and is sold as an Airbus. Whether we order 220's or 320's it'll be the same. They're both Airbii.
