Good question. The article was just mentioned in an Aviation Week post as well - so, hopefully accurate. Actually makes sense for Neeleman whose Brazilian Airline is replacing E190s with newer Embraer E2s - something has to be done with the older E190s and why not use them to start up Moxy early? I guess that is the thinking. The 60 A220s are on the order book and firm as far as I can tell - Neeleman wants to use them to fly all types of different routes given their inherent flexibility/versatility. I assume the E190s are being used to get the process started... Look forward to getting more details. Sounds like Neeleman wants to get started ASAP!
