Just order the a220 and get it over with.. enough of the 50 seaters.
The issue isn't the airframe. It's who flies it. Mainline is willing to let the airline get 100 seaters. But mainline flies them. Not regionals.
Delta seems to be leading the way with the 220 - that could have been a regional bird - but it's not.
