Trips took a decidedly poor turn a month or two ago. I’m not kidding when I say that I feel like an ATL or NYC reserve pilot. But then again, aren’t we all? 😆

Welcome! The 220 is the most junior fleet with the best movement.
Below is a snippet from the April bid pack. Mind you, those numbers will fluctuate throughout the year. I'd definitely pick the 220 if I planned to commute to SLC.
The most junior captain in SLC is a 2023 hire on the 220. It'll realistically take you 8-10 years to get there. On par with other narrowbody fleets/bases.

Hiring 1,000 a year would be 4-5 years or 1,500 or more a year would be about 3 years. The A220 is a growth fleet. Hiring appears to be on fire again and with the crazy number of WB/NB coming online over the next few years I wouldn’t count on 8. SLC220B has insane seniority progression. You can likely make more as a senior 220B than plug 220A with some effort.

8 years for 23% movement for SLC220A plug at absolutely zero growth just hiring for attrition.
Hiring 1,000 a year would be 4-5 years or 1,500 or more a year would be about 3 years. The A220 is a growth fleet. Hiring appears to be on fire again and with the crazy number of WB/NB coming online over the next few years I wouldn’t count on 8. SLC220B has insane seniority progression. You can likely make more as a senior 220B than plug 220A with some effort.
