This is a GREAT article explaining why Delta loves the new A220 and how it is redefining regional operations - let’s hope Ted reads it:

Very good article. No doubt Spirit could also benefit using the A220 on regional or thinner routes currently using less efficient A319s.
Who knows if Spirit will end up ordering the A220? Even if Spirit doesn’t, the A220 is gaining popularity and we will be seeing a lot more flying and competing against Spirit in the coming years...
