Pretty sure the ever popular A319NEO was never really in the mix of the 110 seat RFP. The options were the Jumbo Junglejet 190 or the CanaBus. Network keeps calling it an RJ replacement, so mainline growth not replacement. I get your argument about upgauging to a higher pay rate. I'm sure there will be a big chunk of the 125 orders converted to the -300 series, which is 319 territory. But I also understand the rationale of the A220-300 being a superior airplane to the A319NEO, and we got it for a great price.
If it wasn't going to be the A220, which would you prefer: A319NEO or 737-MAX7? 737 has the higher pay rate...
