That is full of Bingos.

Straight into the

show for these people. Training center closing only hours before they shut down the airport so everyone is stuck.

To be fair. They're only shut down from late today until Friday morning then training resumes. Here for transition and we're only losing one day.

Good to see the 220 getting some new hires again. When will we see other bases for the 220?

2024, NYC first, probably 1-2 more bases after that since we’re taking 100 or more A220s. Straight from the base planners mouth.

I can’t imagine this place with 100 A220’s. By the time we receive airplane #100 in 2040 they’ll be looking to retire some of the older ones we have currently.

I am starting class next week and I currently live in BOS. How is the schedule on the 220 now that it could possibly be back on the bid sheet?

Its always changing with the type of flying it does. This past summer it was heavy on the west coast, which meant a lot of red eyes, but now some of those west coast stations got reduced or eliminated once Autumn came. These days it seems pretty heavy on the 1 day turns to places like ATL, JAX, RDU. I was looking the other day to book a family trip to PUJ during April vacation and was surprised to see the A220 was listed from BOS, so it’s hard to know what things will look like in the future. Pairing mix is usually a four way split between 1-4 day trips I would say.
