The very first post in the topic is a question. It is posed as a question, not as a statement.

I am curious what people think of a possible order coming at the Farnborough air show or anytime in the near future. JetBlue placed an order for 60 A220’s following the announcement of the name change of the C series. Delta has an order for 75 C series, now A220’s. There are now 2 major US airlines with orders, so I wouldn’t be surprised if others followed. Airbus has a salesperson specifically for the A220, which will eventually go away in the future as orders increase by several hundred. Other Airbus aircraft don’t have a salesperson dedicated to one aircraft type so that alone shows how hard Airbus is going to push the sales of the aircraft in the near future.
