I’m a high 11,000. Around 80% I think.

I think sjs may rear its head initially, very briefly, then your seniority may hold it in less desirable domiciles.

If you are at 50% on the 320 you can bid the C10 and be in the top 10%. Senior guys will put in those qualifiers to better their relative seniority. I know 3 320A's that say they are bidding it and their numbers are in the 5000's. I see the top 50% C10 A slots going senior to guys chasing a better relative seniority than what they can have on the 73N or 320. The bottom 50% will go junior, but I don't think it will go much more junior than the 73N and 320 does. It is possible it goes more senior than the 73N which already has A positions in the high 9000's.

Really? Are you sure about that? While it can fly 5+ hour flights, I read SWISS has had many CSeries flying up to 12 sectors per day (most short 30-60 min flights) including steep approach flights into London City. We’re talking 6-8 daily flights into that airport from Zurich and Geneva with its steep approach and short runway which can be punishing on any airframe. It is also used to fly into Florence, Italy which also has a short runway. Watch this SWISS CS100 landing at LCY:

Based on my conversations with Swiss pilots actually flying the airplane, it handles it very well and it is a very reliable airplane after ironing out the initial and expected launch-customer kinks. No doubt we will benefit from the lessons learned at SWISS and Air Baltic... SWISS was so happy with its initial CS100 purchases that it changed the order mix from 15/15 100s and 300s to 10/20 100s and 300s. The CASM and performance on the CS300 is hard to beat!

Don’t worry - I have been watching closely.

Very excited to see SLC. Will be interesting to see how they use it. I expect business travelers out of the NY area will love it.

LGA-LCY (eventualy)

Anyone heard how spacious the cockpit is? Vs 88, vs 320, etc?

Bigger than 88 smaller than 319/320/321

How do you see what people in the SLC 320 and 73n are bidding. That is way cool.

As the Fire Dept of NY joke about New apparatus goes, “give it to Brooklyn, they can break anything”. US ops are harder on equipment than in Europe. Every other landing at Swiss is at a maintenance station. That said, Bombardier has a lot of grudging respect for DL Tech Ops.
