Personally I’d love to see the A220, but I’ll take 100+ more 319’s at G2 rates. It would make sense considering training simplicity, new aircraft acquisition costs and new fleet mx, etc...
I wonder how close the cost comparison is to the A220(300 series).

The last, several year old, purchase price on the 319ceo I saw was $44m but that was several years old and also not the NEO. Suffice to say it’s easily over $50m.
Both Delta and jetBlue purchased their C series aircraft for around $20m a copy. It was, if you believe Boeing, below the cost to manufacture the airplane.
