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.
someone is going to fly Atl to ags, bhm, ALV, sav, chs, hsv, gsp.....etc. you think 777 over 220? Without the 717 those will be 737, 320, 220 routes as dictated by networking. Before this covid crap, seemed like the 737 was doing a lot of the previous MD routes.
