Not only does it change constantly but in the last 3 classes we have hired 90 pilots. Mostly to the 190. The guys hired 4 classes ago will only sit reserve for a month or two. The guys in the most recent class will sit for a lot longer considering there is only like 70 guys on rsv in bos on the 190.
With all that said I talked to a recruiter recently who said they have the go ahead to hire over 400 this year.

Until they fix the pay gap between the 190 and the 320, movement on the 190 will continue. If your going for QOL I would go 190. Pay is the same first year anyways.
Seat lock is only 1 year for new hires. So if you don’t like the 190 or the QOL you can bid off relatively quickly.

Unless you’re starting class with an Airbus type already, I see almost zero reason to bid the Airbus over the 190 for that first year. Maybe I’m biased being a 190 guy...but I wouldn’t touch 320-BOS until you can get about three years seniority here. Unless you like to see your seniority go backwards. JFK is a different story.

And very few A320 openings in Boston.
