on the bus in MCO…a bit longer, just expect to be totally stagnant when you get there for a long while. Bus Capt and FOs park themselves in MCO for the long term, and that list barely moves. The top FOs are in the 500 numbers (out of 4200 or whatever we have now) I think bottom Capt is like 16 years now.
MCO is the base that management just wants on the back burner. Expansion was “next year” for the many years I’ve been here. They claim not much money to made, all while NK and F9 explosively grow in MCO and steamroll us.

70 firm orders. A bit fat on pilots right now as they prep for remainder of 2022 deliveries. Junior line holder is 9/2021 hire.

Anyone who wants BOS should be going 220. I mean, unless horrendous QOL and three plus years of reserve is your thing.
Who knows? Maybe folks are thing they 320 type will get them outta here sooner.

Is there plenty of open time to go around to make an extra buck on the 220? I just don’t understand how people are able to credit 120 hours? How is that possible?

In June, when it opens, it will only have approximately 45 pilots in each seat. By December, it will be 75 pilots. In other words, small.
Overall, the initial bid went pretty senior. Lots of locals living in NJ/PA.
Supplemental bid on 2/22 may give more info.
