B6 is getting rid of the 190s. Those pilots will have to go somewhere. 😬😬

To the bottom of the seniority list!

B6 has less than 60 E190s, and has 100 A220-300 on order, which pay rates are at or near the current A320 market rate.

That's a Bingo.

What’s the scheduled delivery dates on those?

At this pace it’ll take until 2030 to get all 100 orders. Still stuck on 10 airframes and it’s been over a year since the A220 started flying at JetBlue. Supply chain and quality control issues.

To answer your question it’s like 18 planes next year, 22 the following. Believe it when I see it.

Hope they learn about staying put in a market from SWA. The “jetblue effect” doesn’t mean much when you’re just dabbling in markets on the west coast.

Some of these threads are tough reads.

The original “B6 wants us too” thread is locked, but that’s a wild one to look back on as well.
