Somebody is lying. Either JL is lying by omission, or ALPA by overtly stating false information. In this case, I’m inclined to believe ALPA’s version of the truth. Company is simply offering three more months for a handful of pilots. Really it’s just to help themselves with their training crunch and being able to staff the A220 through the holidays. Once they got what they needed out of these guys they will cut them loose.

January and February are the historic lulls so January is a good time to put 220 back on the table if the bookings for summer don't pick up. This is a tactical extension to buy time through the holidays and to measure next summer's demand.
