As for EYW, it’s already scheduled to go to the a220 this fall.

Thanks Chuck.

Yes to that. It's mind blowing how uninformed and willfully dismissive so many people I talk to at this company are.

Even from a purely selfish standpoint, every type of aircraft, every SQ, every base, creates scheduling inefficiencies that are good for every pilot in terms of scheduling flexibility.

If a guy is happy flying the 190 out of BOS, that’s great for them—AND they’re not in my way at LAX.

I for one hope they keep all the planes forever.

The more a220s the merrier. I’m switching to it on the 2/22 bid or in august depending on what the effective date of the sub is.

When would you say is a good/comfortable enough point in a pilots career to buy a house and settle down? Not trying to be an ass, just curious?

The method is simple: Aways live/spend at one station below your current status.
i.e. If you are a major airline captain, live in a house a major airline FO can comfortably afford. If you're a major airline FO, live in a house a regional captain can swing.

That's the general idea.

Everything else is individual and has too many variables.
