The same strategy may be done with the A220, it has transcon range and is also comfortable doing relatively short hops.
the problem with the 190 out west was there was no support. If you timed out or a plane broke it took two days to fix it. We spent more time waiting for crews and parts than we did actually flying out west in the 190.
right! Exactly what gup said.
