It’s an educated guess, I can’t be 100% sure.
There are a couple slots in October where it says Training Captain (TCA) and the person’s name listed with NHFO, which I’m assuming means “New-Hire FO.” I guess anything is subject to change. This is from searching “A220” in Mint.
Its really not that surprising to me though. It’s about 125% growth in bodies needed for that fleet by the end of 2022. The pilots filling in those vacancies will predominately be based in BOS and the A320 already pays more and doesn’t have the “bare bones” pairing set the A220 has for now. So NH’s will fill in a handful of spots uncovered. We shall see….
