It all in the PVBM app...no secrets.

He isn’t a JB pilot.

Puddy: Mostly 190..some airbus. Classes are scattered throughout the year.

All good. As I have said in the past, my Delta friends who fly the A220 for the most part really like it. It has its quirks, but most feel after an initial steepish learning curve with the new technology (especially for those people transitioning from the much older MD88/90 and 737NG), the automation makes it a very easy airplane to fly. Also a big improvement in comfort up front.

it looks like my source was correct on the Captain side, in his defense 3689 is close to 4000, lol! He said close to 4000 on the FO side but like most of us didn’t really care much about the FO award. I need to fly with him more often..

My guess is there will be a lot of movement this year.. not for good reasons though. Take all these bids with a grain of salt.

I think a big question for us is what will the schedules look like and how long will it take for the 220 to shift from a direct 190 replacement into a role that takes advantage of its abilities? Four legs a day up and down the east coast? island turns, transcons, redeyes?

Likely all of the above. I think the economics of the plane will allow JB to right size their routes, maybe putting a bigger plane/less frequency on shorter routes when warranted and putting a smaller plane on longer routes when profitable.

New World Order or child molesting pizza basements?

The question is which direction .... upgrades or furloughs..

If you want to see a great review of the interior features of the airplane, this is a good review:

With all of the added legroom and cool features, I think this airplane will be a hit with business travelers (if they ever return after Covid).

Hi I’m looking for a CA that I met on a layover in CUN. I am a FO for Alaska. Was curious if anyone could help me find out how to contact him. Thanks

Keep in mind, he might have just been saying he was a Captain.

Or that be was JetBlue.

"What's the airline discount?"

Bartender: "which airline do you work for?"

Cheap (and smart) pilot: "which one gets the best discount?"....

So before he said "your room or mine?", did he by chance ask "which airline is your favorite?"

But if he said he loves you, I'm sure he meant it.

Not quite. But something similar. Thanks. His name is Eric Wiseman(spelling???) I met him back in 2017, based in BOS. Should be roughly 45-46 years old. If anyone can help me get ahold of him, I’d appreciate it. Thanks

you met him on a layover 4 years ago? So the kid is 3/4 years old. Good to know I’ll text him and tell him to run. And there isn’t anyone by that name at our company. Sorry good luck finding him. (People make up stuff all the time to get laid)
