well there’s a bunch of 220s inbound too. Someone has to push those buttons. But it all
Comes down to the SLI which will be a huge make or break for all of us. I understand his Question. But that’s like step #874 and we are on #1. Long ways to go before the real big ticket items will be addressed.

220s are a direct replacement for the 190s this is old old info.
And here we have another new contestant.

you’re often a whiney little troll yourself who gets time outs from the site. I’d dial back this new charade of superiority and talking down to people that you’re trying to put on. It’s still no coincidence that another poster named you troglodyte.

There won't be a bump and flush anyway. No one will be forced off their A320. The A220s have a pay rate of $272 an hour, and the last time I checked we fly for money, so the A220 isn't any kind of purgatory...

54 190s
100 220s on order.

That’s a direct replacement to you? Or is that a net gain of 220s? 46 difference is what 500 or so pilots? 500 pilots who perhaps need a new Type in order to stay in left seat.. hence his question. Nice retort though.

They WERE a direct replacement back when there were only 60 on order… now up to 100 orders and deliveries. Even after the few non refurbished A320 are replaced as well it’s still a pretty healthy net gain in airframes.

I know you didn't get to go back beneath Lord Franke like you wanted, but complaining about ~46 net growth airframes at $272 an hour is a very special kind of sand in your V reaction.

You’re reading comprehension isn’t so good is it? Show me we where I complained about 46 220s? I could not care less as ill never bid it. And Franke who’s 85 at 51% ownership scared me a lot less than Robin at 100%. And perhaps you’ll be at JetBluew U when we all get indoctrinated with blue juice? Will you be in the corner handing out matching Nikes?

Huh? Robin is the CEO, he does NOT own 100% of JB LOL Do you know what the CEO is for a company?? You seem very confused here

Robin doesn't own 100%. You raised the A220 issue, because you think it's an issue, or you wouldn't have raised it.

That blue juice line is adorable, but in reality there isn't any blue juice out on the line. But keep being sour about your new reality, although I doubt it will serve you constructively.
