Why would Delta, US Air, United and soon in the future American, all operates of a 319 and soon to operate 319 NEO's which have a 16% to 19% lower fuel burn than the current 319 want a new launch C series aircraft??? No commonality in parts, different type rating, new launch problems all new aircraft have????WHY????
Answer is ....They don't!!!!! None are looking at it and none are going to buy it....Period!!!
Airbus and Boeing have won! The C series and 319 NEO do the same mission at the same cost...CASM!!!! except the 319 has 95%+ parts commonality same type rating and all of these airline already have a business relationship with airbus
Why would you introduce a different type when you already have or will have a 319 and soon a 319 NEO in the fleet????WHY????
FYI, acl65pilot is a Delta pilot. So is Bucking Bar. They are not RJ drivers.
