Yikes. Let’s hope we don’t have a bunch of Mitch McConnells for 20” after the old timer kicks off the autothrust. Y’all might just accelerate single pilot ops if you get what you’re asking for. Thanks.
But you're comment about autothrust is very interesting. |

So basically November, December, January, and February are the four training months to get ready for spring break / summer 2024 which -3 months would imply August-December AEs can expect the majority of staffing increases for the planes getting delivery next year. That’s the way I understand it I think.
I guess I’m curious as to why we only have had a total of 16 330B (and 10 of them -SEA- were just to pick up some of the ER) openings since January if we have sooo many planes coming. Seems like we’d have to have at least 20 openings for the next several AEs to catch up and be ready. That’s just on the 330B side of things. Thank God networking takes care of this stuff cause clearly I’m clueless lol By the way I like the #GoFLex - whoever came up with that one :) Good luck on the 350B. Looking forward to seeing you get your award Flex. |

So what's anyone's calculus on 330 vs 350? As a 320 guy I know the 330 is an easier transition, but I've heard the 350 isn't exactly a steep learning curve coming from traditional Airbus. Both seem to have growth plans. 330 has more variety but 350 out of ATL isn't that far behind. I looked at the 330 out of NYC since it would be a bit of a seniority bump but there's enough early reports and late releases to make me shy away as a commuter that would have to go in through LGA most of the time. On the other hand actually staying put and enjoying some good bit of seniority is a great change of pace. Should go without saying... Lucky and grateful to even have these options at this stage and content with simply being above the traditional furlough cutoff with under 2 years on property.

Since banding, 330 hands down. Better trips by far and way better crews. Easy transition from the 320 too. 350 training, initially, got off to a ragged start. We didn't know what we didn't know about it. Now its pretty cake. It's a very fine airplane. PM James he can tell you about it. Like any training program, show up prepared, cooperate to graduate etc etc. The instructors on the fleet are superb.

330-300 has enough headroom to sit up in the bunk and read, but it lacks an actual seat. The changing area outside of the bunk is separated from the FA bunks by a curtain. 330-200 has two chairs, two bunks and more standing room. It's a brutal commute all the way to the aft galley, but glorious once you get there. 330-900 has two bunks, two chairs, standing room of the -200 and is located in the middle of the plane. Until the recent A350 mattress upgrade the 330 was ahead in that category as well, now they are even. |
