I thought Ed was interested in making all fleet types more business friendly? That is certainly not the case with the 717. Clearly with 90+ airframes, it won't be easy to find a 717 replacement in the near term.

But, with the A220-300s occasionally cycling through ATL (to IAD, EWR, BUR & SBA), how long before we start seeing A220-100s and 300s based out of ATL to cater more to the business travelers who might not like the DC-9 NEO?

Any predictions on when we could see an A220 base out of ATL? How many more A220s need to be delivered before that becomes a possibility? Considering the range flexibility of the A220 (both short and long/thin route options), I can imagine the route planners would salivate over potential route pairings with the A220 100/300 out of ATL.
