Ignorant isn't an insult. Stupid is.
Any airframe that isn't a 321 will dilute the block hours. Period. The A220, nee C Series, is now majority owned by Airbus (50.01%), is marketed as an Airbus, is called an Airbus, and is sold as an Airbus. Whether we order 220's or 320's it'll be the same. They're both Airbii.

If you can't fly the 321, you don't get the override. If we flew the 73 you wouldn't get it, so why would we dilute the override of those that deal with the 21?
Too bad we didn't fight for new hires like we're fighting for an airplane we haven't ordered and probably won't.
Not everything in life is fair.. I'm surprised to see your stance.

I have no idea why anyone thinks the company would care. The override is based on 321 block hours. It’s the same amount of money no matter who they pay it to.
It’s us that will have differing opinions about it.

Point being the company doesn’t care. We have a fixed number of 321s flying a general fixed number of block outs so the company is paying a mostly fixed dollar amount for the override every month. They don’t care if they pay that dollar amount to 1 guy or 3000 guys. It’s the same amount of money.

It’s going to be less each check though bc we aren’t taking anymore 321s and are still growing. You understand that right? It’s based on 321 block hours which are mostly fixed at this point. So it’s a fixed amount of money the company is paying out but spread over more pilots as we grow. It sounds silly but as we grow you’d fly the 321 less often meaning if you it only paid when you flew it it would be a shrinking amount in your paycheck than before. Just another way to calculate it.

Besides, a 220 crew might end up making more on the occasional Deep South trip that the bus can’t do. There’s lots of variables, and it’s all conjecture until people start walking down the jet bridge to fly one.

IF Spirit places an order for CEO Airbus 319s, the article would be relevant, but as of this morning, lots of NEOs coming
