I really want 320 as that is the plane I want to be at right now. I know deliveries grow and the fleet will only have continued growth and a wide variety of trips and overnights. 220 I don't mind either, but I know the big complaint is trips and lack there of diversity in the bid package. Not sure if that changes over time. But getting back to SLC (obviously, I need hiring to occur) ... do you think 220 is significantly earlier to get back to SLC over 320? if it's just a matter of months or a couple AE's then it may be worth it for me, or if its longer then I should put 220 first and just switch to 320 later if I wish whenever I can hold SLC. Just unsure of the move here and I'm obviously very new so unsure of how junior the difference was with 220 and 320 in SLC pre-pandemic.
Like I said, might not have a choice anyways being this low. But in the event I do... Looking for some insight
What is more important, getting out of NYC or getting to SLC?
If getting out of NYC: You may be able to hold DTW/LAX/etc. 320 quicker than anything in SLC.
if getting to SLC: I’d say 220
320 might be better because you can bid any base but SEA to try to get a less sucky commute while you wait for SLC, and if a 220 slot in SLC opens first, you would not have a seat lock coming back from affected status.
