Again, I personally find it interesting that Neeleman chose the CS300 despite being the biggest operator of Embraer E190/95s in the world through Azul and JetBlue. If that isn’t a confidence booster in the CSeries program before the big Farnborough Airshow in July I don’t know what is...
Ya go check out the economics on this plane, SWA just wishes it was it was a 737. Thing can go coast to coast and anywhere in between.
