To a small extent they have. The 220 does ATL to Burbank and Santa Barbara. I’d call those long and thin. It also does a bit of ATL IAD which is a more traditional 717 route, but maybe they’re trying to capture some better business travelers with the better onboard product.
In the end I just don’t think there’s enough long markets out of ATL that only warrant a 220 vs 737/321. As we grow the fleet there will be more 220 flying naturally mixed into ATL but it’ll be a long time before we see a sea of T tails in C concourse replaced with 220s.
