One of the main reasons cited was because it’s adding a new fleet type and there are high costs associated with that. You’d need a large fleet to turn that math around, which is why I’m big on pushing to bring the 175-E2 to mainline. You’d get a much larger fleet with the E2 family than you ever could with the A220.

All this helps the pilot’s case to bring small narrow bodies to mainline by giving the company the economy of scale it needs to makes this successful.
