I’d bet one day the 220 will have a west coast base. I just think LAX base, even at 70 flights a day if it gets there in 2025, will still be too small to justify 2 crew bases there.
Well Mr. SL said today that there are future plans for A220s in LAX, but of course where the 190s are currently based will take priority. He threw out some places like LAX-JAX, LAX-PBI, LAX-CHS (iirc) etc. Date mentioned was around 2023. Hawaii seems bright in the future too. We'll see.
