Back in 2020 when BOS was announced it would open with 320, the 320 had the most daily departures of the 6 different aircraft (220, 717, 320, 737, ER, 330) that overnighted there.
Now, the 320 is flying 15% more departures than it was back in 2020 and only 5 fleets (no more 717).
So BS saying "numbers don't support it" is in itself, BS!

I know the union is your boogeyman and management can do no wrong, but come on.

That’s unfortunate for that pilot, but what was stopping the company from switching it to a 320 VB in MIA the following month? Then a 220 VB in DFW after that? Maybe all 3 run for a couple months and then all shut down.

If we didn’t like it we could spit it out anytime we wanted. We never even tasted it! My 6 year old grandson has enough sense to try something and then spit it out if he doesn’t like it!

Well that’s the agreement we negotiated. Why did we bother in the first place? It’s also unlikely they would have done that. The places a VB would work and cost savings were well researched by the union and company.

Again, the VB pull-down didn’t happen in a bubble, and management has only gotten worse with contract compliance. remember, it’s not a violation unless an arbitrator rules it so. I can only imagine the ways they would violate the provisions of the VB agreement (that they didn’t already).

Not sure what your point is. If a pilot lives in MIA or DFW, I’m sure they would love even a month of no commute. With more than half the pilots commuting, this could have been great. A significant number of non-commuters screamed all kinds of reasons to kill it in an attempt to protect what they had. They won.

Say your grandson got a chance to chew on MCO for a month. Does that help the pilot you talked about who couldn’t get back into the crashpad? Does 1 month remove the nastiness?
