It makes sense and thanks for the clarification!

Wow that's a lot of Bus FO slots! Since a whole bunch of 73FOs are still under seat lock and can't bid it, I would expect a bunch of these slots will go to new-hires. Right?

not many guppy FOs go to the bus. these are designed for newhires, in order to hire, there has to be unfilled vacancies.

bingo - this is exclusively designed for new hires - nothing else.

i guess they “forgot” about it in the last one.

this only makes sense in the context of new Airbii showing up - leased or purchased

As much as I would love this to happen, it won’t.

Seems to be a resupply for the massive amount of Airbus FO’s bidding out to other fleets.

Again I’d love to be wrong though.

They can only bid out if they have a place to go, there weren’t many widebody openings. Mostly captains and I don’t see many bidding to 737….its interesting.

What is the biggest difference between the type of flying on the 737 vs 320? I heard that the 320 is the "workhorse"? So more legs and shorter hops than the 737, is that really the case?

The 319’s do a lot of regional flying. 320’s are hit and miss I guess. This will rapidly change as we take more 321’s. Every month I feel like the 737 and A320 flying gets more alike, but currently the 737 has all the island flying and most of the S FL flying.
