Completely disagree. The E2 would allow us to fly long, thin routes. More importantly to connect smaller cities to the network. Think Knoxville, Burlington, Greensboro, Daytona etc… There are WAY more opportunities at this airline for small airplanes than there are for widebodies. The E2 isn’t the A220, and it’s not a replacement for the -700, but it’s a stellar airplane that could truly fill out the network.
