Well I’ve applied 6 months ago as a experienced Fo and so far it’s crickets from the HR dept.
Also a good friend applied for DEC and his experienced on type and crickets.
As an insight to pay year 2 Captains are on 237k usd and check airman are taking home 35k per month doing roughly 80 hrs per month where we work stateside.
With regards to engines if you don’t run them the correct way the bearings tend to seize.
Welcome to the joys of QF recruiting.
Side note we are both Australian citizens, no visa required

Probably a good thing as that’ll enable them to catch up on training their crew.
Paying only A$224K (US$146K) before tax a year for a training captain on a 71 Tonne Jet wouldn’t encourage many applications I’d imagine.

Where there is smoke there well may be fire in this case by the look of it.

Is that the aircraft?
The information I have is the airframe and therefore engine has approx 300 hours on it. If it is an engine failure/removal that’s not very good from new.
If you google ‘A220 engine problems’, you’ll see a list of articles about the engine issues. 300 odd hours is not good enough though.

X4A operated a MEL-CBR flight today, so whatever problem existed has been sorted.
The problems with the P&W GTF engines had to do with ones were manufactured from 2016-2020 before the “Block D” upgrade, which has solved most of the issues and presumably is incorporated into all
new build engines:
