I heard jetblue was potentially going to take some from Mirabel due to mobile having production issues (both delivery timeline and QC). Not sure how accurate that is.

Mirabel is the Canada site.

My guess is that what was being said is that Airbus in the short term is moving some Mobile A320 production to Europe to free up the line for A220 production. Both the A220 and A320 are assembled on the same exact production line in Mobile.

Airbus is also constructing a pre assembly line in Canada to stuff the shells with more systems prior to them being shipped for final assembly as well as I believe are evaluating adding a second full production line in Mobile

Also I don’t think we are taking anyone else’s planes, but rather we are potentially leasing planes from Azorra.

Yeah, hence, my post.

Vague question perhaps but what’s Airbus’s max production rate on the A220 currently? What’s the second production line in Mobile supposed to bump it up to? Anyone know?

This article I think is the most up to date answer to your questions. https://aviationweek.com/special-topics/crossover-narrowbody-jets/airbus-prepares-much-higher-a220-rates-new-versions

Currently, between Canada and Mobile, the 220 production rate is at 6 aircraft a month, however, they are not delivery 6 aircraft a month. By 2025, they want production to be at 14 aircraft a month, with 10 of those coming from the Canada lines and 4 on the A320 line in Mobile.

Thanks Pinks. I’m envious you guys get to fly such a nice jet. Is dispatch reliability getting better? I know it’s had some teething problems.

Breeze
 
Sorry new here. Of course after any FO reserve, what are Breeze trips like out of ORF? Are they 1 day? So no 220s in ORF yet?

ORF is all day trips. No A220. Currently there’s 10 pilots based there. 3 lines of flying for January so 4 reserves. We’re all kind of expecting the Ejet to go full charter eventually. So maybe one day they park an 220 there.

What are the trips out of PVU like on both fleets?

Just got a CJO, curious what my future might look like. Anyone at Breeze based out of PVU or familiar with PVU feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

Should I apply
 
Hey I’ve read a ton of the forum and a bunch of negative about low time guys washing out. I’m job surfing and live in Tampa and saw Breeze jets the other day on the ride home from a trip. I’m Still under contract with 135 company and about 7K to buy out of it. Wanna move to 121 with 2-6months. Talked to another Breeze pilot that was thrilled to be with Breeze but would like to hear some other perspective. Feel free to PM me.

I’m at 1600hrs/350 part 135 jet time, 500ish multi time. No 121 time.
