Again, a very versatile airplane. You won’t see a similar-sized 717 flying that route.
Hub to hub with a 100 seat airplane? I get what you’re saying about flexibility but there’s really not that many “missions” specific to the A220 that Delta has exploited so far. For slot restricted airports it doesn’t make such sense and for a much cheaper price you can get a used 319 to do the same thing. Fancy airplane but I don’t I see the appeal really.
