Why keep them when the 220 does it for 30% less.
I don’t think they will keep them either, I just used that as a possibility to show the only math possible to get anywhere close to supporting this asinine 3100 rumor.
Only thing I do think will happen is they keep some a little longer than a direct 1:1 replacement as spares to help with the transition. Then possibly some of the owned ones a little longer if they have nowhere to sell them and can use them on a handful of routes that are still making money with it. If they are making money with it and holding onto slots with it, no reason to park it until more A220s get on property. JG said at one point not too long ago she’s butting heads with the CFO on keeping some of them. She wants to keep some of them, he obviously wants them gone ASAP.
