In September 2018, (22) 320 CAs were awarded. Of those, (18) were E190-A320 awards, (4) were A320-A320 base moves, and (1) was a A320 FO upgrading. <<(1) was a A320 CA LOA base move.>>
In December 2018, (43) A320 CAs were awarded. Of those, (19) were E190 CA-A320 CA awards, (14) were A320 CA base moves, (15) were A320 FO upgrades. <<(5) were MGMT.>>
That’s 37 E190 CAs who moved over to the A320, creating a need for more E190 CAs. Makes sense to me.
There were zero E190 FOs upgrading to CA on either airframe since last June.

What was released today was the staffing increase per frame.

While that’s true that backfill is real time, if you anticipate a mass exodus you need to front end load the training cycle.

Ha, they're just getting around to that now!?!? That's kinda what I said in my original post, I guess they are beefing up the E190 staffing now so they can beef up Airbus staffing in the future. Can't see how this could go wrong (summer).

Yep. As you prob saw on the April awards lines went further down for next month. I don't think it will slow down anytime soon.

There is no way I would take the 320 the first year. Pay is the same 1st year, 1 year lock and you can wait and see. You will no doubt notice a drastic difference in base seniority the first year.
