4th thread I’ve had to explain this on...
Talk to anyone that works in network or has flown the 220:
717/88/90/E195/CRJ900/twin aisle ATR1000 ≠ 220
A 220 is a 319 replacement.
The 220 makes its money on long, cross country flights. Flying it on routes less than an hour is a complete misuse of its advantage/strength
The 717 isn’t going anywhere unless you want to give up bottom scope.
