On the 320 side, assuming a year or maybe more on reserve? Any training delays?
I've seen the "there's no reason for a new hire to bid the 320 out of training" comments, but at some point that's going to change as the 190s are being phased out. Wondering if that time is now or is it still the wise move to take the 190 out of the gate and then transition over to the 320 once the 190s go away.
The 190 flying is shrinking more and more each month… people in my class that bid the 220 have lines and i’m still on reserve for August, maybe even September. The premium flying is going down and reserve times are increasing on the 190… you may be better off going with the 320 or 220 at this point.
