But neither has the cseries.
Or the 190s.
Still best seating is e jet 2x2 imho. But do that in a 150 seater and you'll have the tail out into the ramp without a 2L door.
But with the cseries, we account for more than 50% of their 100 orders and republic's deferred cs300 orders accounts for 1/5th the cs300 orders.
That's 330 ish real cs orders in 10 years-
Boeing and Airbus combine with 10,000+ in past 8 years for max and neo. Combine the 3 and bd got 3% of sales. That's a pretty loud market reaction.
I work for Delta, I know orphan jets, that's where the cs is headed unless Airbus does some number on it. Maybe they'll gut the cockpit and make it one type with the 6000 320 family jets they sold.
