The A220 will also need bigger waste and water tanks for that type of service. It can’t carry a LD3 container which is a real issue for cargo.
You really don’t know what your talking about.
Delta’s seat pitch is 30-32 in in Econ and Breeze is at 31 in for basic economy. Breeze’s planes have 3 restrooms as standard for 126 seats so the capacity is already there for water etc.
The number of carriers who use containers on A32x is minuscule compared to the number who actually operate the plane. The ULD-3 container the A32x uses is also not the same container that a widebody would use, so they would only be used in the A32x as they would be highly inefficient to use in a widebody.
secondly the whole container discussion is moot as Breeze is a Non-Cargo carrier. We don’t accept or fly ANY cargo in our planes.
Breeze already has a configuration for lie flat seats. That configuration is even less seats than the current 126, but not that many.
