I heard one survived and two didn’t. Survivor was back flying almost immediately. The other two, for at least a short period, weren’t. No clue if thatwas temporary or permanent.

If someone has a chance, I was wondering what the current company seniority (in months) for DFW FO 737 vs A320 is running. If I can’t get one of the S80 slots, I’m looking to get back to DFW as soon as I can.

Last I heard, 737 was still junior, and PHX 320 guys were getting displaced to DFW. Is this still the case? Do both aircraft in DFW have about the same staffing levels/amount of flying? What about variety? I would imagine the 319/320/321 has a wider range of destinations. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

You'll get to DFW sooner on the 737 than A-320. There are 2014 hires still trying to get DFW A320

To back up Vipers statement. I am an Oct 16 hire, I’m 737 and will be the plug in DFW effective 31 Jan. I would still be 200-ish numbers shy on the 320

Are there any new hires to help boost guys seniority to get the base and equipment they want?

But then airbus would be conceding that it was a poor design. Literally the only control one pilot cannot see the other pilot manipulate in the cockpit is the stick.

But I guess it doesn't matter what we think.
Airbus is superior to boeing in all categories.
