To be fair? Really? The AC E190s had high CASMs and the more versatile and efficient CS300s will replace them. Again, launch pricing is always cheaper. Do you know anything about the CSeries and it’s optimized technology? Check out what Air Canada is saying about the CS300:

Take note of how they think the CS300 could be used on any route and how the CASM is comparable to that of much bigger airplanes with higher seat counts. It’s a game changer and most people have zero clue what it can do in terms of efficiency and route versatility. The airlines in Europe that are now using the CSeries seem very pleased with it.
