You do realize it's just an airplane, right? There is no crazy technology on it that makes it the next coming of Christ. It's just an airplane, same tube, tail, wings with efficient engines and a shiny new flight deck.
Remember this is the airplane that bankrupted a company, AB bought it cheap and is selling it at a loss. That must be some A200 porn site you frequent that makes you love it so much.
Whatever dude. Feel better about yourself? You have zero idea of what the A220 can do. Why would Neeleman order 80 A220s? Just because of the price? Or because they are a lot more versatile than geriatric, 1960s designed 737s and 1980s designed A320s. Bombardier didn’t have the balance sheet that Boeing and Airbus do. But more and more airlines are ordering the A220 worldwide because of its versatility and relatively low CASM - and the order book is getting stronger and prices are starting to recover. I have followed the A220 program since it’s inception and I am a fan of the type.You sound uninformed and you act like an angry internet bully. Not cool. Maybe you should read some “A200 porn” like this:

The A220-300 is not perfect by any means, but it’s a lot more flexible and versatile than anything else in its class - including legacy 737NGs and A319/20s.
