My $.02.....I don't know.
The 220 fleet is growing now (actively taking deliveries) and I believe there are still options on the table that could be turned into firm orders. Growing fleet means more people behind you in category and always have the option to bid with LCP and hope you get bought off.
737 does have 29 gently used 737's coming but we won't see them until starting end of this year....lots of work to be done on those. The cockpit layouts are different, planes have been sitting in the jungle and need a deep cleaning. They even pulled a 6.9 foot snake out of one of them....great....Motherf@cking Snakes on our Motherf@cking planes.
220 is very quiet cockpit and FO bags fits (as well as the JS'ers)
737 is loud and FO bags goes in closet in the back, which sucks when you are trying to catch a tight flight home and 180 people are de-planing.
737 FO pay is $10-13 more per hours
One man's trash is another man's treasure kind of thing.
